At one point LMC was selling plastic replacements, not sure if they still are or how good there are. I agree, a big WTF on the cardboard glove box.
By the way, does your 79 have a circular well in the inside of the glove box door, almost like a wannabe cup holder? I always figured that's what it was for, but it's too shallow to be useful.

I remember my mom's station wagon had those too.
Fixed it for you.
I was thinking once I get around to it I might build something out of ABS sheeting or something like that. It is still in there but the bottom is a bit warped and I can see how anything but the registration or other papers will just roll out the bottom and into the dashboard and/or onto the floor.

I did the sheetmetal version. Made a template out of cardboard and figured out where all my folds needed to be and transferred to sheetmetal. I wish I would have spot welded instead of rivets though. Covered the inside with some trunkliner carpet and called it good.
IF we weren't in the bed on lawn chairs! And, my 66's have/had them too!
