59 DIRTY RAT

Thanks up front for helping if you can?
I have a 59 Fleetwood 75 Limo, any experts out there?

1. Is the front windscreen from the 75 limo the same as a coupe or sedan?
2. The back passenger windows on the 75 Limo, are they the same as a four door back passengers windows? (I have a crack in one)
3. Does anyone sell oil filters for the 59?
4. The back quarter windows in the 75 limo, how do they work? there is a lever next to the window, is that to lower the window? (I have a crack in one)
5. Who sells right hand mirrors?


Thats all for now, I will probably have more later

Many glass shops will cut you a new window. Just take the old one to them. It may be difficult to find one that will have the little "LOF Logo" etched in the lower corner, but if you don't care, you should be able to get a new window for $50/$75 if you remove yours and it to take them. They should be able to match the tint.

McVeys should have the right side mirror.

Oil filters are readily available at Advance Auto, Autozone, about any auto parts store.

Hi Andy,

As you are in Australia, your best bet for service parts are companies such as All American Auto Parts or Automotive Technologies:

http://www.allamericanautoparts.com.au/

http://new.automotivetech.com.au/

Both are based in Ballarat, Victoria, and they will deliver to anywhere in Australia at reasonable prices.  They not only have service parts, but a whole range of replacement parts, such as water pumps, etc.  In fact, I just recently bought a complete engine rebuild kit for my 69 Eldo, including pistons, camshaft, etc, as well as new water pump, oil pump and fuel pump from All American and it was delivered in a day. 

Your windscreen is unique to the Series 75 cars and damn expensive to replace.  Right hand mirrors are as rare as rocking horse poo.

The back quarter vent window slides open by pulling back on the lever.  (I used to own a 64 Limo.)

Cheers,  Greg.

Opgi is reproducing the right hand mirrors and should be available in the next few months. The quality is excellent and the projected prices  are very inexpensive.

Andy,

The windshield on the 59 series 75 cars are unique to that model. No others will fit according to the master parts book. There was part #475 4606 (Clear) and # 474 9918 EZ Eye (Tinted).

I will have to physically compare some windscreens with other 59s to be sure I suppose?
And I will have to check with opg about the right mirror and may as well get a left new one will I'm at it!
Thanx guys

Paul,
Not sure what MPB you're reading?? My 66 book shows 59-64 75 & CC, 1965 75.
