I found a guy with a 65 4dr wagon that might be interested in a trade. The problem is someone tried to turn it into a panel wagon and put metal in the last set of windows to close it off. Is the glass flat back there? Is there any trim around the windows? It looks pretty cool other than that based on the pics. I love 65`s and could use a wagon with my little ones so I might be able to get it past the "boss" since it would be a family vehicle.

Anthony,

Pretty sure the glass is available NEW... I searched, but couldn't find it... Auto City Classics has the glass, but no price (call for pricing and availability)... IIRC, the glass looked pretty flat, so you could probably get away with a flat cut replacement...

Window trim will be harder. Not 100% sure, but I thought any 64-67 Chevelle/Cutlass/Lemans/Skylark 4-door wagon should be the same (the 300/300D might have been painted?)...

The rear glass on a '65 4 door wagon is not flat, it has a curve in it.
There also is a trim piece that covers it. The fancier ones had stainless trim on them, the others have steel that is painted body color.
These parts are easy to find in junkyards still. Not much demand for them.
Pontiac, Olds and Buick wgons are all the same when it comes to these parts. That is as long as the wagon is not a "vista-crusier" type with the windows on the roof.

Oh, one more note, the trim that covers these windows is a 4 piece design. (4/side). Two large hockey stick shaped pcs and 2 small connectors that go in the sharper corners.
