First time here. I have an older garage built in the 60s with two large three panel windows measuring 72” long and 24” high. A quick search online turned up zero replacement options. The current window is made up of two panels of crank out louvers and the center is plain single pane glass. I don’t think this setup is that uncommon. Do you guys have any suggestions? Doesn’t matter what style or even if it opens just want something insulated while trying to avoid a custom window. Thanks I’m advance.

That's not an "online" size.

Go to a big box stores or lumberyard and talk to a door and window salesperson, they'll have the brochure and can get it ordered

Andersen seems to have some sizes that would work. Try the link below or just google Andersen size chart. Depending on the window you choose I think some as short as 17 inches. I recently replaced a large living room window (picture window with a double hung window on each end) and we ended up putting together 3 andersen windows to fit the space property.

How about glass block windows? Great for a garage, letting the light in and can be made to fit any rough opening, easy enough. The view never changes though.

The technical term for the louvered slats windows that can open is "jalousie", had what I think is a similar configuration in my garage in Chicagoland built circa 1972

These are common still in warmer climates where a breeze is nice, but if you have actual winters where you live a more conventional sliding, fixed or casement type window is likely a better choice. All of the major manufacturers should be able to do replacements here, and most competent carpenters should be able to install but if tiu want to post an interior and exterior picture it could help confirm.
