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.

I have a 39 and 40 Supercharger "Sharknose", and Dad has an original custom
