DonW Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I do miss cars with quarterlights. Great for demisting the windscreen, and perfect for us terrible smokers... Maybe that's why you don't get them anymore - so much for 'progress'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunc Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 the term I learned was "wing windows" although vent windows was used a lot also. you knew a car was top of the line when it had power quarterlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1603 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I can remember being quite impressed by German cars with a rotary control for the quarter light, very swish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes, that's one of the reasons I love 2002s!And I miss manual window winders, lighter (in weight at least), more precise and much safer than electric equivalents. Oh, healthier too - a bit of regular cardio vascular and upper body exercise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
