Crown bus windshield and parts found!	Patrick Young/Wheelchair Project	5-9-03
Recently someone saw my name on the Net, and called to ask about Crown windshields. Crown made two types, a very ordinary windhield that was flat and came in 4 parts, and then a beautiful curved "scenic cruiser" 2 piece wihdshield that must have come from a Very Fancy mold. The first type can be had or cut anywhere, and the second type is as rare as a spotted owl at a logger's jamboree. I had to tell the fellow that I didn't have one, and had only seen one Crown in my life that had this type of windshield...... so then I started looking for one. And didn't find any. Crown apparently is also out of business, and didn't save the molds. But as luck would have it, I went to buy a tailgate lift for my Datsun, (1978 Datsun KingCab, 5 speed, 49,000 original miles, just bought it, smogged, for 650 bucks!! Course she lowered the price when I refused to return her false teeth and heart medicine) and lo and behold what did I come across but a 1970's Crown with the curved windshield, exactly a day after a fellow called from Northern Calif and said he could only find a "pair of windshields that were 1/4" too snmll, and on top of that the guy wanted $1400 (yes that's a real figure) for both. Plus they weren't out of a bus, but a fire truck. (Perhaps that explained why he was getting "Hosed". I guess the windshield's price should have been a "Cause for Alarm"......Maybe they're a "Hot Item"? I personally would have been "Seeing Red"....) Well to make a long story langer, I'm gonna try and buy the bus. It is in OK shape, has some broken windows and headlights, some parts have been robbed, but apparently it is a runner and has a 6-71 Detroit and an Allison 4 speed. I don't like automatics, even though Allisons are good, (Most folks who prefer this set up are sort of shifltess in my opinion) but I love the Detroits. So, If I get the bus, I will be stealing parts faster than 10 accountants for Enron. If anybody needs something, give me an e-mail. I should know by about the 20th of May.

Pat, I saw your posting where you have some crown parts. I am looking for a lense for one of the rear running lights on a 59 crown eagle. The lights are bullet shaped and have a deep dished glass lense. I need a red lense for one of these lights. I am also interested in taking out the allison 4 spd and converting my bus to the roadranger RTO 910. Any suggestions as who could tackle a job like this? The bus has a 671 detroit in it. Casey
