Old cars don't do it as much 'cos they were designed to be driven with all the windows down (no a/c as standard). I drive my '69 Javelin and Phoenix with all windows down (pillarless cars are cool!) and it's nothing major .. it only gets bad if there is a big crosswind ..

I can honestly tell everybody that this is not a Ford Design Flaw, my mum has a 2003 VY Commodore and it does the exact same thing from 40km/h upwards and don't ever have the rear windows down above 40km/h when there is a crosswind as it almost makes your eardums explode.

I get the chopper effect if one or two windows are open a little bit and it's very windy outside, otherwise no such effect occurs in the Fairlane.
