I believe that's called a "ventipane", or sometimes referred to as a "quarter window", the former terminology more specific to those right on the A-pillars while the latter can be used for fore and aft.

I don't know how I know that... I'm not even old enough to have owned an old-school Caddy (which had powered ventipanes - whoa ballar!), nor am I a classic car collector.
