Default value of 1960 windshield?

Curious if anyone can advise me on the value of a nice original 1960 windshield?

What would a new replacement one cost?

Also, my Hollander does not go back that far. I am guessing that the 2-4 dr hts are the same and the 2-4dr sedans and wagons are the same, anyone know for sure?

You are correct according to Hollenders.

2+4 dr sedan and wagon fit

Are they repo'd? It's the same as a '60 Impala, right? If anyone sells a repo it would be Auto City Glass, check with them to see if they are available and what the price is.

The repros are available, but they are probably 1/2 the thickness of the original.

It is the same as 60 Impala, among others.

Thank you for all the replies everyone. Am surprised you can get a new one for $300. Would have guessed they were twice that.
Now I have to decide how much to price this one for.

I'm not sure where the new ones are made but they seem to be decent quality. I have one from Auto City Classic in my '61 Bonneville, and it fits well with no leaks or optical distortions.

I bought a full set from Auto City for a 57 Chevy wagon and it was a good price but it does not fit very good. The side glass is thinner and does not fit the groove in gaskets they provided and the front windshield will not go in fully and seal, they swapped it out but the replacement must be from the same batch because it fits the same and they told me that was all they would do. I have installed several of these in the past with no problem and my old windshield fit fine but it has started to cloud up and I just redid the car from the ground up and figured new glass was a good idea. Some of my glass was from China and some from Mexico.
