Windshield's?

[Dragfink]

Gentlemen, would the windshield's be the same for a '53 C model & '53 K model, as far as height? Is one shorter than the other? Thank you

Same windshield for both (actually I believe that the same windshield fits C and K models through '64).

Would the sedan windshield be the same, only shorter?...or is it a completely different shape?

The parts book shows the sedan windshields to have different numbers so it appears they don't interchange. My guess would be the sedan ones are actually taller.

There are a lot of different P/Ns for these:
USA vs Canada (why ?)
Clear vs Tinted
C/K vs WFY body (coupes vs sedans)

Different types of safety glass?

I'd bet it was simply a supplier issue. Studebaker probably sourced the glass on the Canadian cars from a Canadian suppliers. Many parts in the catalog are different for CAnadian built vs USA built cars.
