1969 Olds backglass

We are looking for a used backglass for a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutless #442 2 door. We have phone #'s where to obtain them new but do not want to spend $3-400.00. The part # is DB3998. Most salvage yards around here do not have anything older than a 1990. Thanks for your help.

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

Auntie Glass
So sorry you don't want to spend the money for a back glass for this car. Why? Is your customer on welfare? Someone with one of these cars should be able to spend a few bucks for a glass. Or do you think you can get a glass for $50.00? If you want we can ask the posters here to chip in for you and help you get a glass. Let us know. WE want to help you. Don't we?

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

Used DB3998's probably clear can supply from a few places within 3-5 days if interested.
We are up to several thousand classic and antique glass parts in stock. Currently having glass made for us. Lee is right though on this one, not a big difference for used vs new..
Give me a call 877-345-2800 for a freight rate and del time.

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

Lee, I agree w/your response. It is so funny when people with 20,000.00 dollar hot rods and resto-jobs aren't willing to spend a few hundred bucks on one of the most important asthetic pieces of the puzzle. Dudes walk in here with so much bling on their necks and hands, driving a Land Rover or Lexus, ask for a quote on custom cut to their pattern and installed in their frame windshield for 1930 Dodge hot rod and poop in their shorts when you tell 'em 200.00 bucks.

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

GlassGod you know how you avoid that? Dont work on that old **** and you wont have to listen to it! I do not work on anything past 1980 its all rusted butyled up ****

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

It's just cutting lami to a pattern...good $$$ in it and very easy it gives me something to do inbetween posts.

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

**SIGH***I remember when 1980 was one of those new high tech cars.***SIGH***

Re: 1969 Olds backglass

O.K. here is the skinny on things.
Customer calls to have w/s & b/g removed(and saved),we did.Brought back to the shop to store for him.
4 years pass and my husband(the bright one; he says)decided to clean shop. unable to reach our customer the bright one,throws them away.Two days ago the customer calls and wants his OLD glass back(just our luck).
Customer is a backyard do-it yourself guy.no money to speak of.just wants to drive a fast car.
And we did find one for $100.00.
