The key to this question is that it was industry wide change. I like the wiper answer, because this is a good indicator for a late 60's change.

The answer is curved side glass. I can only come up with 3 reasons for this industry wide change.
1) Safety things like padded dashes started happening so maybe curved glass is stronger?
2) Strictly a styling change
3) Roofs could be smaller so less materials and thus less costs.

Okay, Becky I'll pass to you for the next question.
