An opera window is a small fixed window usually behind the rear side window of an automobile. They are typically mounted in the C-pillar of some cars. The design feature was popular during the 1970s and early 1980s and adopted by domestic U.S. manufacturers, most often with a vinyl roof. The origin was from "opera" vehicles of around 1915 with occasional collapsible seating for extra passengers. The opera window was also a feature on "formal roof" and limousine models with higher than a normal roof to accommodate passengers with top hats.

  • Das Opera window (deutsch: Opernfenster) ist ein Gestaltungsmittel des Fahrzeugbaus. Beim Opera window handelt es sich um ein in der C-Säule angebrachtes Bullauge.

  • Le terme « opera windows » (vitres d’opéra) désigne les petites vitres latérales situées dans le montant de custode d’une voiture. Traditionnellement proposées avec un toit en vinyle, elles sont caractéristiques des voitures américaines des années 1970 et 1980. L’appellation se réfère aux petites vitres installées sur les portes des loges d’un théâtre. Très populaire, ce concept a été repris par presque tous les constructeurs américains et par certains constructeurs japonais. Il était présenté dans les publicités d’alors comme alliant “l’élégance et le romantisme d’une soirée à l’opéra”. (fr)
  • Con opera window si intendono dei piccoli finestrini a forma di oblò che vengono inseriti nei montanti posteriori di alcune automobili di costruzione nordamericana. L'opera window era un finestrino posteriore che non poteva essere aperto e che era circondato dal vinile del tetto; esso rappresentava una caratteristica molto comune delle autovetture degli anni settanta. In quel periodo questo design era nuovo e si dimostrò molto popolare tanto che venne imitato da quasi ogni costruttore statunitense. (it)
  • Het Opera Window (Nederlands: operaraam) is een stijlelement in de voertuigbouw. Het is een klein vast raam gemonteerd in de C-stijl van personenwagens. Meestal werden Opera Windows geïnstalleerd in combinatie met vinyldaken. Dit was met name het geval bij Amerikaanse autofabrikanten in de jaren zeventig. Operaramen, een stijlkenmerk dat ontleend werd aan paardenkoetsen, werden veelvuldig gebruikt in de carrosserie-ontwerpen uit het interbellum. In de jaren dertig van de twintigste eeuw geraakten ze in onbruik. * Ford Thunderbird (1956) * Dodge Charger SE coupé (1973) * * Mercury Monarch (1977) * (nl)
