    Stepdown sedan rear windows come in 4 flavours, small, 2 piece medium, 1 piece medium and large.



    48, 49 and SWB 50 sedans all have the small rear window

    50 LWB sedans have the 2 piece medium rear window

    All 51 sedans have the 1 piece medium rear window

    All 52, 53, 54 sedans have the large rear window





    Coupe rear windows come in 3 flavours, small, medium and large. The small is actually the same piece of glass as the small sedan rear window. The medium and large rear windows are coupe only.



    48, 49, 50 coupes all have the small rear window

    51 coupes have the medium size

    52, 53, 54 coupes all have the large size

    Bob - I differ with you on the 48-49-50 Coupes. They used a different rear window from ther 4dr 2 dr sedans - it wasn't quite as tall as those in the Sedans. Also, the rear windows in the 51, 52, 53 and 54s were not quite as tall as those used in the 2 dr and 4 dr sedans.

    And in case anyone's wondered, the '54 Hollywood one-piece back glass will drop into the "52-'53 Hollywoods. Maybe some of you recall seeing Horace Hutto's black '52 with the '54 glass. Really looked great.

    I had no idea there were so many differences. Very interesting.



    Thank you all for the information. Lee

    Jerry,

    I haven't tried to interchage them, but can only go by the parts book description. The 48-54 interchange book says 48-49,50A,500 Four door,as well as 48,50coupe and 48,49 two door use PN210115. I guess that leaves 50 two door sedan as different ? the book doesn't list the 50 two door.. hmmm..the 501,502,503,504 use two piece glass.
