How close is a 30/31 windshield to a 32? Also anyone making a 32 windshield that is like the original i.e.: a bit more rounded than the repops I see out there?

If you mean for a phaeton/roadster, not even close given that your concern seems to the cross section of the frame.

The only model A windsheild that fits a 32 in shape and size is the truck. And it fits 33 34 but the bottom of the frame on a model A has a lip that has to be cut off

Nothing else is the same like a roadster ect

Yes the cross section on the repops do not look close to an original.

The ones from NC Industries in Pennsylvania are very good and a cut above the others.

The 1932(-34) roadster pickup uses the same windshield frame as the 1930-31 standard roadster/phaeton.

As noted the 1932(-34) closed pickup has a similar tubing section to the 1926-31 closed car, however the shape and dimensions are very different.

Everything else is not close.
