In 1947 it would have been the door windows. Other options were the roll-back sunroof and the convertible. In 1951-52 VW tried 'crotch coolers', like a cowl vent except there were two in the front quarter panels—before they went to vent windows. I'm not sure what year was first for accessory pop-out quarter windows.
By 1967, you could have a 21-window bus with a fold-out Safari windshield and a full set of pop-outs. The only window that wouldn't open is the backlight. Those are available as an accessory today.
A Ghia like aerohead's dates from 1956. Flow-through from 1971.
...and it's a horn. Harley Davidson uses the same single post mount on the back, in case you want chrome.
