FrankWest107 17 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Do original Model A's have plate glass windows and not laminated windows? Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Mellor NJ 346 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I believe laminated, or safety glass was one of the things heralded by Model As from the start Link to post Share on other sites
jpage 416 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think that only the windshields had safety glass and the door windows were plate glass but I could be wrong. I know that Ford insisted on safety glass for windshields. Link to post Share on other sites
JFranklin 569 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Original glass was laminated for the windshield only and all the rest was plate. The call for safety windshield glass was prompted by a dangerous wreck in a prototype model A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
copgib 3 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Words of advise, if in doubt use the penny test. Hold a penny up to the glass on an angle and if you see 2-reflections of the penny it is laminated. If you only see one it is plate glass! Hugh Link to post Share on other sites
