I like the vent windows, & I think because they have so much chrome/stainless around the front glass on the convertibles, they do blend in pretty well, but I never thought about it like that.

When I ordered my 69 H-O LeMans I didn't realize they didn't come with vent wings. At the time( after I realized this) I thought, just like I thought about the 68 vs 69's dash that I was sort of being cheated or de-contented. What I didn't realize was for a time ( early production 69's ) if you wanted, or screamed loud enough etc. you could get vent wings. When I restored my 69 H-O in 91-92 I realized just how easy that would have been to convert back because the 68-69 inner/outer door skins are the same and the holes for mounting the window glass channel and the vent wing assy. hardware all fits.
Funny, I liked the 69 rear bumper better than the 68, but I liked the 68's front bumper with it's smaller center ram or snout than the 69's. The 69's front bumper center snout was so big they had to mount the front bumper license plate on the rt. side of the valance instead of the 68's which is rt. in the middle and symmetrical. Of course GTO's didn't have that problem.
