Re: [FWDLK] Glass Houses

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently observed a 1937 product of the General who's side glass was
cloudy with delamination, as were the lower edges of the windshield.

So likely by '35 or '36 it was all around on most manufacturers, and I would
expect it started to go away to today's safety glass as curved rear windows
became the norm and eventually in the side windows.

Having seen a '60 Chrysler with long since busted windows I can attest that
at least some of the windows were the modern safety glass - the rear
quarters at any rate and the tailgate most likely as another General product
has it there and I think some of the other companies do too.  Things you
learn from someone's one window per car shooting spree...


Makes me wonder what the Airflow looks like thats over in a shed hidden away
in a small town a few minutes from here...    I think that one's even a
2-door Airflow...  just sitting there.  At least it's under cover.
