Fifty five years ago I read the story about safety glass in the windshield
so I thought I was safe and only replaced the side and rear windows with laminated safety glass.
As I remember the glass company
referred to it as "safety plate".
The edges are clear glass and you can see the two glass pieces and the plastic sheet in the middle.
Note all the other windows were
plate glass
I was told in 1976 that Ford put safety glass ONLY in the windshield which agrees with what I found in 1962.
In 1966 I hit the rear of a 56 Plymouth at 45 MPH. The seat belt that I installed in 1962 kept me from hitting the windshield which was really a good thing considering what I found in 1976.
In 1976 the windshield glass started to rattle inside the frame. When I removed the glass windshield I found that it also was
plate glass.
Many dangerous things happened to save money in hard times.
So do not assume that because Ford put safety glass in the windshields that yours is in fact safety glass!
