I miss vent windows.”

So do I. One of the most useful things on a car. It was great for women. You could have fresh air coming in without ruining your beehive. Wonder why they got rid of them.

I hate the new cars. I like to have my window down and rest my arm on the frame. Window openings in the new cars are so high you can’t do that anymore. Also loved the old seats that went all the way across. Lots more room and way more comfortable.

I've got vent windows in my 67 Camaro.

I think the reality is they're no substitute for air conditioning.

I agree before air cond was in most every car they were very useful.

They were very easy to break into I guess was one reason. A small screwdriver or a pocket knife blade could pop one open in seconds. Another reason is the likely conflicted with door mirror placement.

Straight bench seats! I swear I am going to take one out of an old Dart and bolt it into some car I own in the future. Family cars should seat at least six legally.
