It was rumored that when the young Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, was just getting started in boxing, he bought a used black Cadillac that either came without A/C or the A/C didn't work. Too proud to let people know he didn't have A/C, he drove around with the windows rolled up as if he did actually have it.
I personally have seen the old passenger window type. They looked like a big black Electrolux vacuum cleaner hanging on the side of the car. I wonder how hard they were on the glass when you shut the door.
