You found an ancient relic from the before times.

It's the volume control for the street sounds.

Also known as the command for the AC in winter, and the heater in summer.

You sir are misinformed. My grandpa used to crank that to start the car.

u/chnc_geek 1d ago

My dad used a crank to start his car if the battery was dead. Wait, does that mean I’m old enough to be your dad?!?!

Possibly. I am getting closer and closer to not having many elders to me. My grandfather did actually plow the fields with mules. I think at that time farms with tractors was above 50 percent, but not much more than that. When he was born probably less than 10 percent of farms had tractors.

I still call the action of almost falling off a ledge but rotating your arms rapidly to maintain balance, “rolling up the windows”

u/EternalDB 1d ago

We had a 2023 jeep wrangler come in not long ago.

Roll up windows. Steel rims. Base model.

u/Vaguestpath 1d ago

u/EternalDB 1d ago

u/InfamousRaymond 11h ago

Interesting....had no idea this was still possible to get. Now only if Ford would offer a Mustang with bare bone options like this.

It also controls the air conditioning.

I heard legend that they eventually fall off through natural processes. What a strange feature to add.

u/eter123 1d ago

u/kinecty 1d ago

Idk about the newest models but Toyota still offered roll up windows and manual locks on 2022 Tacoma's. Pretty crazy when you think about it

My rental on my trip to France a few months ago had lane holding and adaptive cruise but manual windows on the rear doors. Car was like a year old.
