Sounds like an early Reliant to me....
Seriously, you mean a knob on the glass itself which was pulled up and down
with a clip at either end? I think it was quite popular in very early closed
in models for a time. Some early cars had opening back windows a bit like a
house window. I'm sure if you can imagine it, somebody tried it!

Many years ago i saw a car, I think it may have been a Rover, which used
a long handle to open or close the window. It was a very simple solution
but went the way of lots of good ideas.

Probably the handle would slice you in half in a side impact collision
