    fwiw I’m nearly 30 and I’ve never seen a window crank irl, only in that one Conan bit where he went on a drive with one of his staff. I assumed they stopped making them in the 80s, 90s at the latest.

      Yeah fair enough. My car only has it because the previous owner specifically requested it. But previously we had a 1992 that legitimately had the window cranks. I’m in my 30s and most cars I grew up with also had them. I think probably mid-late 90s for standardization of the automated ones.
