Yes it is called the "greenhouse effect". The real one that is.
The windows (or car body) prevent convection from carrying the heat
away. Not so much to do with radiation.

Black cars are a couple of degrees hotter than white ones on hot

You will find that the boot stays cooler than the interior of the
car regardless of color, especially in bright sunshine.
