I can’t remember the last time I saw a new car with these handy little windows. I was out in the MGB today, and I opened them. As a child, my parents called these ‘wind-wings’; so that’s what I call them.
What do you call them?
ETA: Merriam-Webster defines ‘wind-wing’ as ‘a small panel in an automobile window that can be turned outward for ventilation’.
Cigarette windows!! I didn’t even have smokers in my family and that’s what we called them. I wish cars still had them. I love having my windows open but it’s usually too noisy and windy and the vents we have now just aren’t the same.
Never heard any other term than wing window. A vent was the thing down by your feet you opened and closed with a push/pull lever on the bottom of the dash. Haven’t had a car with either since I owned a Ford Fairmont back in the 80’s.
