The very first cars (prototypes to B bodied cars up to mid-1924) had raked windscreens. Apparently Sir Herbert decided that looking through a sloping screen was bad for the eyes, so they went vertical from then on. I don't know if this story is true, but it's definitely not one of his better ideas!
