Thank you, the B on the hub cap helped, though I first thought it was an 8.

Do either of you or anyone looking on here know if that window design is some sort of "Patented Design"?

It looks quite unique to me and although I may have seen it somewhere, I don't remember it.

I must say I don't remember ever seeing that window design before, first I thought they may be hinged but they seem to be fixed. It does look like a practical way of being able to open the window to get air in and keep the rain out.
I only did a very quick search and found that neither earlier nor newer cars appear have them.
