Ha ha ha, I didn't think of that.
Here is one "everything old is new again" option. It would be a play on the triangular venting windows of the old days. The problem with today's cars is that something like the classic version is not readily translatable to modern car designs (unless you're really good at car mods).
When we do our side mirror deletes or downsizes, we end up removing the "mirror triangle" baseplate. If you take out the interior cover, you have a hole to the outside. You could have a screened(!!!) input tube that sits flush when you don't need A/C. When you do, you swivel it on the vertical access to "open" it toward the wind. The inside of the car (where the hand-controlled mirror toggle would be) has a funnel that you can aim at your chest or face.
The idea is, you would sacrifice aero when you use it, but you would get focused air aimed at you for (hopefully) optimum evaporative cooling.
