First date in a 90’s Ford truck

I can sometimes relate to this with the window

Those F-150's were some of the latest running window vents & floor foot dimmer switch.

Those window vents were great.

Those window vents were great.

Perfect to funnel the bugs right into your face while inside the car.

Had a coworker riding to lunch with me in my 88 the other day that was taking a trip down memory lane with the wing windows. My kids are fascinated with them.

What's funny is every one of the OBS Fords I've owned had stellar AC that never gave issues. Those electric window motors and switches in the few power door trucks I had/have always caused problems. At one time I could change the drive plugs inside the window motors with my eyes closed.

2-60 AC! Two wings open @ 60mph. We got along just great!

Vent wing windows were called "crotch coolers" when I was growing up because of how they deflected air flow towards your groin area!

Like rotary knob controls on radios, vent wing windows should never have been removed from vehicles.

Interesting. When I was dating 1967-1971 no one cared (including now wife) about AC. None of us had it and it did not hurt my dating life. Didn't get AC until 1982.

The transfer switches for the separate fuel tanks were sometimes finicky too.

We called the vent under the steering wheel a crotch cooler

Especially those big bumble bees. I've had to stop really fast and jump out a few times over the years. I'm sure it made for good entertainment for all the people driving past me

I remember those. The tank stayed full because I could never get it to switch. Of course gas was cheap so I never bothered to fix it.

I recall getting hit in the face with some pebbles the same way. Gave me a new appreciation for the what the motorcycle crowd deals with.

My Corolla and my Malibu had that lower vent. Loved that thing.
