Two thin sheets of corrugated cardboard and a very thin, single layer of bubble wrap covering just the center third of this curved sheet of glass. Somehow it made it from Illinois to So. Cal. without breaking.

Picture #2 is a transport frame I made so my son could bring two ‘64 Studebaker windshields 400 miles..., without breaking them. I spent hours pulling the rear seats out of his car, gutting the trunk and squeezing every fraction of an inch to get the glass as vertical as possible.  I paid $100 ea. for these difficult to find windshields even though they had scratches and bull's-eyes'.  Otherwise it was $800 (new) for what I was told was “the only one left.”
