Flip open wing windows

I'd like to know if anyone has considered modifying the two small rear wing windows so that they can flip open. My old '63 356SC had this as a standard and it was a great way to circulate fresh air throughout the cab.

Yes, I know I can use econ or a/c, but after 30 years in the 356, I've become a creature of old habits....

I suppose today, we'd expect this feature to be "electric"...just need the windows to open about an inch or two....

Any creative types out there???

Nice idea. I think they may be part of the support structure, since the hatch opens. Maybe not though.
