could someone explain why........
in My 1978 cutlass salon , there are no window cranks/mechanisms in the rear doors. all I have are a couple of swing out windows, behind the doors. what was the reason for this??

Does your car have a pillar between the windows on the door and the windows for the rear passengers? I know all of the auto manufacturers went to different styling in the 70s with "opera" style windows for the rear seat in a 2 door car. All you have to do is look at the mid to late 70s 2 door Delat 88s, 98s, Cutlass etc. Not to mention other manufacturers. A few that come to mind with unique windows are the Chrysler Cordoba in the late 70s (check out the movie Anchorman for a good example), the Ford Thunderbird, and the Mercury Cougar. Ultimately, I think it is just a styling thing. Hope my $.02 helped.

Cost savings. It was idiot beancounter decisions like this that drove consumers to import cars in the late 1970s.

Cost factor to be competetive, they eliminated the rear door window mechanisms. They often advertised it as "Safety Feature" so children could not lower the windows and fall out. Some models had windows that would only partially lower. That was more of a safety feature than the elimination.
