I am having a hard time getting the glass for my 78 Caddy Hearse! I thought he was a deVille, but the glass for one is too small! I don't think there is a name listed on the car, but I am wondering if he is a Brougham. From what I have read, they were the biggest cars made by Caddy in 1978. Anyone got any idears? Please, I want to drive my car!!!

Alot of hearse glass aren't made from stock. You'll probably have to look for commercial glass. Even though they say that they quit making commercial chassis in 77/78, My 82 is a commercial chassis, it was about $500. Usually com. Glass is about 6" taller than stock. Hopefully that helped narrow your search.

I spoke with someone from Shields Southeast and he said Miller-Meteor never used com. glass
Which piece of glass are you talking about?
If its the windsheild, you should be able to get one no problem, couple years ago a branch took mine out, I claimed it and I think it was Safelite that did the swap, just tell them its for a "Z" code commercial chassis, once they figured that out, it was no problem.

Sorry I assumed it was a windshield, that is usually the hardest and most expensive part to find. Drivers Door? pull a measurement on the height and wideth, so you will have a number to ask about. Try a brougham, it just might fit. Or try a junkyard to see if they have at least a door so you can compare your measurements.
