That would be genious if it didn't need an open window.
Maybe it was an idea from back when trucks used to always have those little triangle windows?
When I had a Volkswagen, I called it, “180-60 air conditioning.” Flip it 180° and drive 60 mph.
Funny enough my dad used to mention about 4*80 ac in the car for similar reasons, which makes me wonder if there where a lot of speeding tickets at the time.
Yeah, I didn’t have to worry about speeding in my bug.
According to my dad, bugs were the easiest cars to steal.
You could lower the window from the outside just by firmly pushing against it and down with both hands, then turn the ignition with a flathead screwdriver.
I got to 85 mph in mine once on a straightaway while on a long trip. It wouldn't go faster, but the engine gave it everything no questions. It also didn't feel all that safe, so I didn't do it again. Would I recommend a Beetle to anyone today, absolutely not. But I loved all four that I had in the past, and wouldn't have traded them if I didn't have to. A fun and needy death trap.
I know of a guy who died when his old Beetle rolled over on the highway. I wouldn't feel confident in one at speed.
