A friend of mine got this windshield from a pile in a guy's garage, not knowing what car for which it may have been taken. Kinda small and reminds some of a windshield from a '50s era car. Maybe a Sunbeam? It as an interesting logo, that may help with identification. So for 30 bonus points and a pat on the back....does anyone recognize this piece and its logo?

the sharp bottom corners intrigue me...so I'm going to say renault dauphine rear screen?

That's just the company that made the windshield. Not necessarily a clue to what it went into but if that company it still in business they may be able to identify it by dimensions.

Laminated glass is normally for windshields, backlites are normally tempered glass.

Ford Thunderbird?

An Image search indicates that is a Corvair windshield.
