Yup, someone did and it still looks cheesy. First thing I would do is replace it with a brand new repro pad.
Also he states the wheels are K-H originals, but they don't look like the correct ones to me. The originals were made by Motor Wheel, these are lip-laced versions with the wrong centre caps. The rad in this car looks to be from an A/C equipped car, as it has the upper tank hose connection at the far end instead of centre, per Non A/C cars. Otherwise looks like a nice car, would like to know the rust history on it!

A New Yorker just isn't a New Yorker without power windows!

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Power Windows are almost a " MUST HAVE" option for me. Even my former 60 Polara has them. I'd rather have a mid line model with them than a top of the line without.

I am with you. Of all the options on the list, power windows are my favorite !

Denis, take a closer look, and you should see they are certainly the longer 126" wb fenders.

4 hootenannies, 9 forward operating bases, and a lifetime supply of free haircuts.
