Tim Gilmartin told me he had never seen any wing windows on Cords.
Mine will swing out to the 90 degree mark but I keep them closed to minimize the wind loading on them. Being as rare as they are I don't want them blown away.

I would say fairly rare. I've seen them here and there but not often.

Do they fold all the way around to direct air into the driver's compartment?

How Rare Are Wing Windows??? was created by Terry Cockerell
I have often wondered just how rare are the Accessory Wing Windows?
I believe my Cord had them fitted around 1937, the first picture was taken in 1939.
I am also aware there were two versions, mine are the early type, the second type had more sheet metal around the window.
During the recent restoration I was able to attach side mirrors to the wing window frames.
All comments appreciated.
