The air vents in the rear door jamb (top). Some years had a round "hogs hair" type filter on the backside of the vent - my '72 has them.
Anyone know what years didn't have them? What other years did have them? Not one of those things a concours judge would ever check, but curious. |

My understanding is the vents reduce the pressure in the cabin while closing the doors with the windows rolled up. They make the doors easier to close.
I don't know for sure why they went to the filter on later cars. My '70 /6 doesn't have them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
