    Times 3, my Crewzer is the same body and I really have to say those vent windows suck, why the heck they cheaped out and did'nt put roll down windows in the rear doors is just insane. I don't really like, but I have gotton used to the non moving rear window. 5th wagon like that

    I think they did it that way with no crank rear windows, so they would be more accepted as police vehicles, which around here, they were never used. Diplomats reined supreme in my area.

    My cousin had a 84 (3.8 229 cubed Chevy) sedan and it had the vent windows still, maybe a few made it out with crank windows? I personally have never seen any with anything but vents, but that does not mean it didn't happen.

    Thats funny, I was born in '74 and still think of an '87-92 being a newer car, LMAO! 1987 was a sad year for me, it was the last of the G bodies and RWD V8 sedans, save the Caprice and Roadmaster, but back then, a teen in a 4 door was not cool! The school parking lots were like going to a car show on a daily basis. Now they are full of eco cars and they are bought by mommy and daddy. I went straight from school to work to feed the cows and start milking at 4pm and 3 days a week from my sophomore till senior year, I was up at 4am milking cows at my job and then home by 7:30 to shower and head to school. My oldest son is gonna be 18 in December and to get him off his arse to even help do a few chores around the house is like pulling chickens teeth! Oh well, he moved in with his moms parents now and I will be gone in March, so he can mooch off them now, both the older boys are in there teens, girls and goofin off is all they care about, so I hardly ever see them anymore. They might learn to miss me when we are gone, if not, Oh well.

    Did cars with power windows have rear windows that went up/down? I've often wondered why I could never find any window cranks on the rear doors of G-Body wagons. Now I know. I could swear I've seen higher optioned cars with window switches though.

    What made GM's idea even more moronic, cars with front window cranks still had power back window vents.....My 79/80 Malibu
