| It's
Tough to Improve on a Classic! |
 |
 |
But
that is exactly what Rodware has done. Veteran rod builder
and Bonneville racer Dick Rodwell, and buddy world renowned automotive
sculptor Stanley Wanlass have pooled their talents and designed a radical
new windshield for 1932 Ford roadsters. |
|
Other
than the tops of the doors and the tops of the hood sides, there are
no straight surfaces on the contours of a '32 roadster body. |
 |
This
windshield sits on the original cowl eyebrow and echoes the same slant
visually lengthening the hood and cowl. Unlike many aftermarket windshields,
the Rodware windshield allows the all important cowl vent to be retained
in its original position. |
|
The
windshield's highly polished 304 stainless steel frame is slightly curved
to match the subtle radius of the '32's body. Due to the angle air is
pushed up and over the windshield. This blending of function and form
gives new aesthetics to a traditional design, the aerodynamics allowing
travel at highway speeds with minimal wind buffeting to the driver and
passenger. Had the technology to manufacture curved safety glass been available back in 1932, Deuces might well have been designed with slightly curved windshields to better match the overall design of the rest of the car. |
 |
You
get used to looking at these windshields and then look at any other
'32 windshield made with flat glass, and it looks like a compromise.
And that's exactly what the original windshields were. |
