    windshield should be available, if you can't locate, call the "Glass Shop" in San Dimas, CA. They claim they can find any glass.
    I'm guessing you'll have to go aftermarket for seat belts. I doubt your car came with them new, and I wouldn't trust them that old anyway.
    Someone was trying to sell one just like yours on CL in Phoenix a while back.

    I was told windshields aren't being made for this car. Someone just told me they sold a new one for $1200 plus shipping

    Welcome. That is a really sharp and super rare wagon. I can't remember the last time I saw one, outside of our old neighbors car back in 1966. I like the colors and looks like it will hold a lot of cargo without being an overly large vehicle on the outside.

    Very nice. I wouldn't know where to get parts but I am sure they are out there.

    Welcome, nice Rambler. You might find some fellow Rambler owners at theamcforum.com that may be able to help you with your needs.

    Seat belts will need to be after market. There are several places that sell them. There are a couple of threads with links to sites to see what is available.

    Thanks everyone.

    I found a company that makes new windshields in the states here so I'm going to purchase from there.

    Also bought some really nice seat belts from https://www.gotbelts.com/ excellent customer service and quality belts! I bought the vintage chrome pull latch style in black, should look nice.

    I joined the AMCforums before joining here, not too many people seem to have Ramblers, especially wagons, this old.
