1964 Chrysler 300K convertible/a c-body?

glass has always had a big mark up 200-300 percent . nags numbering should be enough for fit , but clarity varies greatly .

I know that when looking for parts on my 1963 300, everyone classifies it as a C body. If you are looking for a windshield gasket, I have seen them on ebay. You could also check out a website that I found www.63chrysler.com. They have links for parts and info for the 63 and 64 Chryslers .

Thanks for that info. I do in fact need a new gasket. So I'll check a few of those links on that site. Jack E/NJ

Just want to let folks know that Pilkington in Ohio, now part of NSG, has new windshields (as well as other auto glass, shaded or clear) that fit the 300K convertible. They also fit 1961-64 T&C wagons. Prices & shipping costs are reasonable. They'll talk directly to your installer if the installer has any fitment doubts.

I sure hope the windshield in my 61 fury vert comes out in one piece.

From where you have ordered that windshield and how will you do that windshield replacement?

It is the original windshield and I decided not to remove it, but to protect it. Car is on a rotissary now, so far, so good.

While sorting out a pile of old auto articles, etc. I came across a copy of the "Detroit Listening Post" in the March 1962, issue of Popular Mechanics, page 104. Jim Whipple was the reporter for this series and in the issue stated Mr. Whipple was reporting on the new Dodge 880 and the sharing of the 122" wheelbase.

He wrote, "You guessed it, the 880 is Chrysler Corporation's "C" body shell shared with Chrysler Newport and "300" ".

Will have to scan the article one of these days.
