1942 dodge 3 window question

[old-idaho-iron]

was wondering if anyone had any info on 1942 dodge 3 window coupes, i'm in the works of picking up a rough but complete 3 window, doesn't appear to be missing much, floors are rotted out but thats about it, it is also missing the back window, is that a curved or flat piece of glass?? i love the looks of the old 3 windows,and hope to make a killer hot rod out of it, if i can pull the iron out of a few other fires!! thanks again and hope to hear back from yall!

the rear window is curved glass (I could check later to see if it is interchangeable with other model/years)

I have a 48 Dodge 3 window coupe. The rear window for mine is:

Part type code 23-64-314, part # 892 819. That is for a '46 to '48 D24 coupe.

The roofs sure look the same on the 41 and 42 Dodge 3 window coupes, as well as on the Chrysler Royal 3 window coupes, although I do not have any references to check the numbers.

Unfortunately all of these models are somewhat rare so finding a good back glass will probably be difficult.

I own a 42 Dodge Bidnessmans Coupe. The overall dimensions of the curved rear window are approx. 43.5" x 13.5"

Reg,

Congratulations for the fabulous looking coupe and great photo too.

Where is the location you shot the picture?

[Reg Evans]

Thanks Uncle-Pekka.

The photo was taken at one of my favorite reservoirs here in Grass Valley,CA.

We were checking on the water lever for a future launch of this rig.

I think they made a little over 5000 of the 42 3 windows. I've been looking for a front bumper since 2004 without much luck.

The bodies, now I am talking bare body from the firewall back minus doors, fenders, deck etc, of all the Chrysler product lines were the same from 1942-1948. Now let me clarify further, the Plymouth was different from the Chrysler Dodge Desoto line. So your rear light, glass, will be the same as any 1942-1948 Chrysler Dodge Desoto of the same body style.

A '41 for comparison.
