Artifact Overview
Laminated safety glass, which Ford introduced to the low-price market as standard equipment on its 1928-1931 Model A, represented a significant improvement in automotive accident injury protection. Two layers of glass were bonded to a clear plastic material sandwiched between them. The plastic laminate helped keep glass shards in place after impact.
