My 40 Ford tudor has a unique feature that I had never seen before. The back seat windows roll down as you would expect, but they will also roll horizontally towards the rear a few inches, which then gives a small ventilation opening in front of the glass. I'm curious about how common this ventilation feature was at Ford. Do other years/marques have this double-acting window mechanism? Do the coupes have this, or is the space available for the glass to slide towards the rear only on the bigger two-doors?

In '34, Ford referred to that feature as "Clear Vision Ventilation". The front side windows closed and then could be moved rearward an inch or so with additional turn of the handle. My '37 has this feature as well....

The quarter windows in the 1940 coupe are fixed. It was used on some of the earlier cars on the front doors as well as the rear ones on the Tudor. Tom

My 39 Tudor Standard has that feature. I open the vent in the front and open those rear windows a bit when I'm on the highway so that I don't get a lot of wind and road noise. Works great !

The front windows on my 1937 Ford operate like that. . . . 78-730B
