In 2014, NordGlass manufactured the set of bulletproof windows for Cadillac 355D Fleetwood Special made in 1934, in the USA on the special order for Marshal Józef Piłsudski. The completion of the vehicle glazing constituted the essential part of the thorough vehicle renovation project.

It is currently possible to see the renovated vehicle in the Royal Baths Park (Polish: Łazienki Królewskie) in Warsaw.[30]
