Just to let you know our Gbody platform is rear wheel drive and is for the years 78'-88' so our Gbody stuff doesn't fit your car.
Hoping for a miracle need a windshield for my 90 and they have beeen dicontinued hoping an earlier g body would fit.
I just got a windshield installed in my '80 Cutlass a year ago, brand new. Try calling other glass companies, your car is 10 years newer, someone must have a new windshield for it.
90 Regal would be a W body as far as I remember. I had an 89 Olds Cutlass Supreme International Series which was the same carline.
I'm shocked the 88+ FWD W body windshields would be discontinued...they were built for quite a few years.

Did you contact safelite? I just did quick quote request on their website and it didn't come back with any issue that glass isn't available?
Safelite was my first call they came out and the glass they could get was for the A body did not fit. They took it back and called me to say the windshield had been discontinued and they were unable to get one. I have called 4 other companies here in Massachsetts and no one can get a glass using the vin number on the car. At GM they called it a g body model. It is the custom presidential regal coupe yes FWD but the basic body except for grill and tail lights looks like the pre 88 models the A body is more aerodynamic and a larger windshield. I also called 2 GM dealerships and they were no help.
You're OP said 1990, I'm assuming at this point you made a typo then and we're not talking about a 1990 W Body Regal?
I'm confused by all your references to different platforms, and years. Maybe you could post a picture(s) of the car itself, or at least the VIN# and some of us here might be able to help you out with some web searches if you're not comfortable with using the internet/online resources. Sometimes you have to do a good deal of online research when trying to find something specific, but from the info you've provided I'd be hard pressed to think there isn't a new replacement, or used one out there somewhere.
HTH.
