It certainly was. Ford had their own glass plant at the Rouge where they started making laminated glass for the model A. They eventually had other glass plants to help with the vast supply chain of Ford Motor Company.

I worked at a boat window manufacturing plant in Tulsa, OK when I was going to A&P school there and it was supplied by the Ford plant there at the time.
