what kind of window is this?

[lee n. field]

Old, but not antique.  1989 crown victoria.

Incidentally, my 95 F250 has them too.

Wow.  I did not know they made them that late.

That would have to be a small somebody.

Eventually small.

that's the window you push in to get the keys/unlock the door. No one ever locks them.

Interesting, mine are always latched.  I locked my keys in that car over the summer, and the tow guy didn't even try those windows.  Incidentally, I was amused with the difficulty he had getting that car door open.  Turns out that doors made out of steel don't flex much.  I was less amused at the price.

Upon doing some further digging, wikipedia notes: "This [The 1983-1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria] was the last American car to offer functional vent windows as an option."

My Cherokee had them.  They were awesome.  I miss my Jeep.   

I vaguely recall it was a '91? or thereabouts.  Maybe they're distinguishing between cars and trucks/suvs?

[Lee]

Smokers would probably call it a bottomless ashtray.

Yeah, they were awesome.  Sucked the smoke and ash right out, and you could still stay warm.   

[Tuco]

I always heard them called  "cigarette windows".

He didn't want to break your windows. I have always heard that security (due to unlocked vent windows) was one reason they were discontinued. Cost-cutting would probably be the main reason.

My 97 f250 had them, Same body as the 95 though.

The newest vehicle I owned that had them was a 84 Suburban I had. They were great you could open them up and stay nice a cool driving down the highway and not get the wind gust like an open window. I also miss kick panel vents too.

[Hawkmoon]

Open.

[Fly320s]

Can't be.  It seems to work.

Ah, yes. Now I see the Apple logo. 

[Gowen]

Real trucks have wing windows!  or you could call it redneck air conditionin'.

[Carl N. Brown]

Well, as a child in the 1950s, my brother and I called them wind glasses.

[RoadKingLarry]

My '92 Cherokee has them.

Little wing vent story. I had a 1954 Chevy pick up that was my daily driver at the time. No AC of course. I would run with the wing vents cranked all the way open on both sides. One warm summer morning on the way to work I drove through a swarm of bees. Must have pulled a couple of hundred in through the wing vents. I managed to get off the highway get it shut off and exit the truck with out getting stung.

[brimic]

I also miss kick panel vents too.

And floor mounted dimmers.

I don't know about anyone else, but I hate the 15 function dimmer/wiper/signal/cruise levers we have these days.

my 95 has triangular windows  but they don't open  wonder if i could get an older door and swap

Not to mention a jillion buttons on the steering wheel to be accidently pressed when you are backing or tight quarters manuevering 

I want my 1965 stepside back
