Guess there is nothing that says a window has to go all the way down. On one company car I had, rear windows went down most of the way but still about 2 inches of glass that remained exposed. A P.I.A. if you wanted to rest the arm there. Can't remember which one that was.

With the collective genius type engineers Packard had at the time who provided many firsts or ways to implement features economically a year or two before others, I don't think it a far stretch to say they couldn't have devised some kind of two stage setup. Something that either slid the window back into the available space or tilted it somehow to clear if it reached an obstruction and then continued down.
