55 imp electric windows

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Hello All;

 Believe it or not I think that the big three all used the same window switch manufacturer. The Switches in my car are remarkably similar to those used in some 50's GM cars like Oldsmobiles with the exception of the bezel, the mounting is the same so it probably uses the same spring clips. I removed the ones from my car to give them a good cleaning and those clips actually play a role in hold the assembly together as well as in the door panel.

 It would not surprise me at all if Ford and Chrysler used the same window motors at that time. After all Autolite made horns for everyone including G.M and they made the window motors in my 54'.
