Re: What type of glass for CJ2A windshield?
Was it broken, so you couldn't put it up and pass? It's the same
law as when it was brought up to me by a CHP, back in '68.

Model "A" Fords used safety glass all the way around, not just on
the front, as the law has changed to accommodate the cheaper foreign

Re: What type of glass for CJ2A windshield?
I think you are off by several years on safety glas windshields. I
had a 32 Plymouth and a 38 Chevy Club Coupe - bith had safety glass
windshields and I looked at a lot of junkers in the boneyard with the
discolored middle layer. I vaguely recall that safety glass and
hydraulic brakes came in about the same time. I'm not sure about the
tempered side and rear windows, tho.
I do know that mechanical brake linkages were a flaming nightmare!
Wasn't that what kept the Beetle out of the US for several years?

Re: What type of glass for CJ2A windshield?
Graham-Paige motor company claimed the first auto with optional
non-shattering safety glass in 1930. Libby-Owens Sheet Glass Co, had just
merged with the Edward Ford plate glass Co, forming Libbey-Owens-Ford,
mostly owned by the Graham Brothers, who build Dodge's early trucks for
them. After WW2, Frazier bought the company, merged with Kaiser, who later
bought ****** and made Jeeps, eaten by AMC, Dodge, and now our buddies, D-C.
Interesting story of Graham, http://members.shaw.ca/rjsill/justwhat.htm, and
an obscure part of the Jeep history.
