most other cars of the last 25 years or so use the interior vents and a
cheaper system with a bigger window, or (a la Milano) a non-opening
triangular vent."
My Alfetta GT had operating vent windows (requiring about 75 awkward turns
of a knob to open fully!), but my Milano just has one big window up front.
There is a non-operating triangular piece in the back windows, but I've
never seen one of those made openable.
Not in an Alfa perhaps, but have you ever ridden in the back of an
old Jag sedan? That vent window mechanism is just about the coolest
thing ever.
