Window louvers were the 'sun protectors' of yesteryear. They did a good job at protecting the back from the sun while adding a stylish flair to the car (or what they considered stylish). Window louvers, combined with a reflecting front windshield cover made for an extremely powerful interior protection system when the car was off. But yes, the advances in window tint more or less negated the need for window louvers and thus they lost their charm.

Some new cars look awesome with window louvers. The Mustangs can adapt several appearances that are complimented very well by window louvers such as the Parnelli Jones BOSS throwback.
