The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

3w2, There is only (1) version of glass for either side of the vehicle. The part # 48-18258-A is for both left and right sides. The "R" after the part number indicates that the part has been designated a replacement part and is no longer in production. 48-18258-B replaced this part and had a slightly different shape (some call this the 1936 style)

Don,

With respect, given that the drawings for the side glass are for the right side version, the wind wing on the passenger side would be readable from the outside and the one on the left side would be readable from the inside.

Thanks Don that helps. I hope to replace all the glass in my '35. I'll probably start first with the wing glass, looks easier. The windshield and the rear curtain glass look to be more involved or harder.

Thanks, Kenneth

foto1man, Forget about the glass being in your car for a moment. Picture the glass laying on a flat surface. The bug is applied to the side facing up as shown in the drawings.
Therefore the windshield glass should have the bug in the lower left corner with writing readable from the outside or in the lower right corner readable from the inside.

The wing glass (same piece of glass on left and right) Drivers side readable from out side...passenger side readable from inside.

Rear curtain glass...lower right readable from out side....lower right readable from inside.

Another thing to look into. On my low mileage '37 all of the glass appears to be original. The bugs on the driver's side are the mirror image of those on the right (etched on the inside vs outside). I'm not sure which is which as I'm not near the car right now. I'll be seeing the car tomorrow if you need to know this.

Thanks Don,

The factory drawings are great. Were the etchings on the inside of each window? My '35 Phaeton doesn't have bug/logos on any of the windows and I would like to find some possible replacements.

Are you one of the co-authors of the "1935-36 Ford Book"?

Once again, Thanks

Kenneth, All glass in a 35 phaeton had ford bugs when it left the factory. I am attaching (3) factory drawings showing the windshield, wind wings, and rear curtain glass and the location of the bug/logo.

This question is concerning the glass identification, etched window logo’s or window bugs, whatever they may be called. I have 1935 Ford Phaeton and I was wondering if all the windows had logos or bugs? There’s the windshield, the two wind wings and the window in the convertible top in the rear? Were the windows clear or tinted? Were they laminated or tempered and their thickness? Where were the etched logos’s located at, especially the wind wings?
Thanks, Kenneth
