May be just to open up and let air in during hot weather. Cars used to have vent openings you could pull open beside your feet. Haven't seen those in so long I'd forgotten about them.

You got it! I just looked it up. Finally saw from that Vera picture that her rig is a RR Defender. There is a site on the whole history of them, and it said that the flaps were a primitive form of air conditioning!
#1 was happy to have the mystery solved!

You can see a pic of the dash taken from the back seat. The vents are in the dash.

Did you read all that ?

Of course not! There was a little blurb giving the information when the results of my query came up. It was from that site... somewhere in all that text! I found the picture all by myself!

Even though the steering wheel is on the wrong side, the brake, clutch, and accelerator are arranged the same. Accelerator on right.
