Maybe it was some kind of internal sabotage to make people hate GM cars a little more ...of course, the cheapo interiors and wheezy powertrains of that era could do the job by themselves. But they got good mileage, so I guess someone will like them.
 
I drove my old car which has wing windows, today. They don't seem to make any wind noise until highway speeds are reached - but this is a nearly 50 year old car with original weatherstripping, so I can't hold that against it. I do remember the passenger side one would leak in the rain, too.
 
That car has such superior ventilation to modern cars. In a modern car, I have to turn the fan on to the lowest or second lowest setting to be comfortable - I can't stand to have it off. In the old car, I can just open the fresh air intake, or maybe crack a wing window if it is stuffy, and everything is good.
