Breezeway (car)

Breezeway is a term for a vertical or reverse-slanted, power-operated retractable rear window on sedans.

For 1958, Lincoln introduced the Continental Mark III; to distinguish it from the standard Lincoln, the Mark III was fitted with a retractable rear window on all body styles (including convertibles) borrowed from Mercury station wagons.

Following the 1960 Continental Mark V, Lincoln discontinued the retractable rear window design feature.

For 1963, the design feature was revived by Mercury, making a reverse-slant retractable rear window standard on its full-size sedans (including the Monterey, Montclair, S-55, and Park Lane).

For 2001, the Ford Explorer Sport Trac mid-size pickup truck adopted a retractable vertical rear window between the cab and cargo area.
