The Hispano Suiza Carmen Boulogne windshield is recessed an inch or more at the A-pillar.
My 1958 VW convertible had a flat, upright windshield that was recessed maybe a quarter of an inch. The snow would build up and overpower the admittedly wimpy wipers.
Consider the three-piece windshield. My Clark Cortez had that.
