Well, on one hand we have consistency.....on the other hand all the above posts for feature I am seeking are w r o n g
still the clock continues to tick.....
Again, it is something very obvious...(except to turbo owners appearantly?)
It is not engine or even performance related... it is a feature that was on cars that has gone away and is not on any of todays performance cars....I am talking about american cars as I am not sure about every foreign performance car out there.
Here is another clue....and this should be the icing on the cake...
Cars had 2 of them......
Someone oughta get it now....

I appreciate all the compliments....and pm messages that I been getting....as many of you can probably tell I read a lot of car magazines and try and stay well rounded.
Just got in a 1985 GN other day out of Lousiana....a dead GN from Lousiana means one thing.....flood car....Katrina victim this car definately was submerged completely....and for a period of time...I got it from guy who delivered it as no way would it be worth me driving that far for a dead one.
Body panels are nice....I can actually see the broadcast sheet attached to the rear set frame looking into the trunk. Don't think this car floated in the Gulf more than likely sat at the bottom judging from the silt and dirt under the hood.

A reminder about the central theme of this post, if you have not done so post your trunk ID label....so I have something to do other than look at wrong answers. I can break down most of the codes and tell you actual prices of the options etc...block out your VIN number.

About vent windows reason I focused on performance cars is they were 2 door cars and virtually every 2 door car today has no vent windows.....
In the GTO world 1968 was the last year for vent windows.
Nova still had them at least thru 1972 one of the few that did.
By 1969 very few performance cars had them.
Congrads to every one that participated...

Other trivia is stil unsolved:
I am seeking a very unusual actually weird option that was offered during the 1950s and probably only appeared in a few models. I think it was only offered 2-3 years at the most.
Here is a new clue for this question: Today it probably would not have much call for this option.
The clock is ticking

New contest:
No previous winners eligible
No Buick turbo employees
One answer per post
Value $25
I am thinking of another option that had a very very very short life span of less than one year that was offered only on one performance GM car.
This option would later appear more recently in another GM performance car.
Name the option I am thinking of and the GM car it appeared on!!!!!! Option & car requires 2 correct answers in the same post.
