120 MPH DO NOT OPEN windows

[Devildog]

I have heard the Avanti's had a small plate that warned about opening the windows above 120 ???MPH to avoid blowing out the rear window

I have never seen one . I would like to see it so I can make one for the heck of it.

Thanks in advance

Joe

Where was it mounted?

Try an Urban Legend site.

It was in the 1964 R2 I just sold. I think it came in the car. It is mounted on facing part of the center console. With your email I can send you a picture of it: dap8@comcast.net

There were plenty of those sold in the FLAPS aftermarket in the '60s. Many were placed on VW dashboards. My custom '63 has one.

OK, I got the idea...makes a good story to go with the big back window

Thanks all

I remember seeing these advertised in the back of car magazines in the 1960s as a novelty item.

Sheesh! I have a friend with one in his '64 R2. It really looked original. I was fooled.

I am having one made on an aluminum plate to match the the aluminum on the console. It does not have to be the truth to be lots of fun.
