Just picked up this 1/24 Lionel 2011 Mustang '11 Nationwide Insurance model. The car is mint... except it is missing its windshield. It only cost me $0.99 plus postage. Does anyone have a donor windshield for this car?

I did some poking around the internet and found that there was a real display car with these graphics that Nationwide used at their booth at the races. I will also show an image of the similar Allied Insurance car in my collection for comparison.

Anybody know why I couldn't embed the actual photos in the post?

Looks like the image was to big maybe. I assume you clicked on the insert image button next to the insert link button? (I know you've posted many pics before)

Works on my end.

The attachment bar was grayed out. I found the problem and fixed it.

And here is the Allied Insurance car for comparison.

I just now became aware that this Nationwide model may be the same casting as the Diecast Crazy Forum Mustangs. A spare windshield out of one of them would fit... (not that I'm expecting any of these got mangled but still have a good windshield. The odds are quite low.)

Just got this reply back from Lionel Garage:

"Hi Bill-
Unfortunately, we do not have any extra windshields.
Best of luck in your search for one-

The search for a chipped-up model with a good windshield continues.

Good deal. Nice looking adds.. Hope you find a windshield.
