Netters: I think there were a lot of '50s & '60s model cars & maybe some latter imports that had thes sort of devices in the interior fendor front side-walls under the dash as well as the old late Subaru 360s & Honda 600s. I think these cars may be still made but whether you can get such parts for them here is something I can't answer. ( I had a '69 Subaru 360 and it had a cowl vent)
