Kinda in regards to the Plymouth cigarette lighter, I had heard the story from my Dad that a Plymouth executive went to the Chrysler track to take a new test Plymouth out on the big banked oval for a spin (a new upcoming Barracuda ?) and left the front drivers window down. At very high speed the huge rear window blew out ! He was ok, but Chrysler then forbid executives from taking a test car out for a spin on the banked test track !
WOW. Yeah; I could see that happening.

@perrone1 Just imagine the cost of replacing the '65-'66 Barracuda back window today!

For me it wouldn't be that bad. I'd either use saran wrap or sell the car!!

Seriously...if the car wasn't in really good condition I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company just wrote it off if the rear window was ruined.
