Half the point of air conditioning, seemingly, was to roll the windows closed, the wind wings, and the floor vents.

Better control of temps (especially humidity & dust) and THEN the quiet.

Let's not forget other traffic. That is disturbing.

Franks comments about headphones correct. Not legal, as one is closing off an important sensory input.

The SAAB wing is "good". JC Whitney and others (1960s) used to sell a small chrome wing to go at the A-pillar post base to act as a buffer to wind hitting ones face with the window open. As with other period pieces, they may still be out there.

65-mph or slower is the easiest cure we used to use. If one studies "average mph" the advantages become clear.
