by Does anyone know someone with a VistaVan, seems like there was a discussion years ago? I'd like to find out what the number is on the upper windshield.
Any leads would be great!

Just missed it, there was a listing (now gone) for what appeared to be a 1967 Vistavan on Kijiji here in Toronto that was featured at the 1967 worlds fair in Montreal. The owner did not call it a Vistavan but it had the same shape to it including the rear. It might come up again as the owner wanted $4900 for it and it was not in the best of shape.

Cool, if I could get that number from the glass, I might be able to duplicate the top, looks pretty simple.
Thanks,

It's not for me... I think it's a fugly beast!
I'll just go through life banging my head on the ceiling I guess!
I think it could be nice, if it followed the original lines... a little more subtle a hightop...

Hello, you will definitely find this interesting...and you'll also find your auto glass part number in the origins of the vistavan 
it's a back glass.
