Yes, one ancient example is the windshield on my '59 Chevy. Unfortunately a new "repro" windshield doesn't have the compound curvature and to me looks noticeably worse in profile.

Cad used same glass as Chevy; see the "fishbowl" (also note compound curved back glass):


Compound curve can be seen in reflection:


Replacement = flat


Basically, drape forming.
