The Beetle I had was a 1968 model, don't remember if the glass was tempered glass or not. I sold it to my fiance after graduation (for $25!) because my dad was buying me a new car. Ironically, my fiance decided to come up to DC from NC on his motorcycle, because it was a brand-new touring cycle, and he thought it'd be safer than a old VW Beetle on the road. But a drunk driver upset that logic (the drunk ran head-on into Jimmy's motorcycle), but honestly, I don't think the Beetle would have been any safer in that situation, either.
