There were two, one for the FAIRLANE/FAIRLANE 500 and one for the CUSTOM/CUSTOM 300 (incl SW and RANCHERO)

Height. They are actually two different cars.
A W/S should be readily available.

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
The following windshield from Auto City Classics will fit your car. I have purchased a windshield from this company and they have good quality and service. This link has a listing of all the models that it fits.
Good Luck, Dave https://www.autocityclassic.com/1957...ndshield-w486/ |

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
The Windscreens for the 1958 Custom/Custom 300 and Fairlane/Fairlane 500 respectively would be the same as the 1957 Fords.

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
I suspect the front windshield glass is different between the Fairlane series and the Custom series. I know for a FACT that the rear glass is different. My 17 year old self found that out long ago.

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
????? ????? ... i am completely puzzled ... The 1957/58 FAIRLANE SERIES and CUSTOM SERIES were two different cars other than the front sheet metal, same as the 1955/56 FAIRLANE and lower trim levels.

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
Completely DIFFERENT and correct.
Nothing from the firewall going back fits.. well.. some interior pieces.... but they are very different. The Glass on a 500 series and the 300 series are totally different.. except the glass for the vent windows. Rancheros share the same as a 300 series In 1957, Ford. made over 20 different models.. no car company ever did that and never has again. That does not include the Merc division or Truck division...... Last edited by Jeff Norwell; 05-23-2022 at 02:13 PM. Reason: Spelling error |

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
Get the model # off the VIN tag. This is the only way to make sure you get the right glass.

And the 500 windshield fits the Ranger/Pacer series Edsel.

Re: 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Windshield
Some local glass shops do deal with suppliers for classic cars and trucks and also have installers that are knowledgeable so check around. I'm lucky where I'm at to have such a shop so I don't have to deal with trucking companies for shipping and the cost of a residential delivery.
