I don't know that we know.  Certainly the angle affected reflection and the
lack thereof, but all the car series had some angle to the glass.
Maintenance costs?

We may have hashed this out before, maybe not.
Does anyone know the reason for the 1400-series and 1500-series PCC cars
having the 30-degree slope to the windshield, then the 1600-series being
delivered with the 1936 style flat windshield? Maybe PRCo got a reduced
price for using up old parts.
