Original C1 windshield weatherstrip w/ ribs

Re: Original C1 windshield weatherstrip w/ ribs

You are correct Rich, #009 was in pieces when Frank Buck purchased from Rick Carrol. Neas I believe is 7th owner since Chevrolet Engineering. (14K miles??). Steering wheel I referred to was originally on car when it was purchased from Miami Dealership. It was pulled off at Sebring when car was converted to #7 entry. This wheel was included as part of inventory left over and never reinstalled. Took photo of wheel in mid 80's because I was surprised how clear grain looked. Blueprint does show a couple of revisions 5-16-57, 9-11-57 and 3-14-59. Have not followed up on what they were. Again, sorry about the thread maybe should start a new one on C1 steering wheels.

Thanks David, yes I think I'll rekindle that other thread and link this one.

Would love to put this grain thing to bed in my mind. Please see if you can find that old photo and if it specifically shows in those prints.

Garry,

That blue '60 has it's original windshield and rubber. We looked hard but found NO ribs anywhere, near the inside at the bases of the posts, along the inside, or outside, nowhere...

I suspect, as Mike at CRC explained to me in the past, the ribs were manufacturers marks and possible that not every one had ribs.

Only the prints would tell us. Maybe someone has those prints and can check.

Garry.

I was just in my '60 that has the original windshield and rubber and I can make out 2 lines in the rubber as shown in your photo above. I tried to snap a pic but the results were less than good enough for posting.

Take care,
Randy
