Larry Shier Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Does anyone know who manufactured the window crank mechanisms for the Avanti ?--I very much doubt Avanti did----is it the same as GM, Chrysler Corp.--?---Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneC Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't really know, except that I know the power windows used a Ford motor, so it may very well have been Ford or a Ford supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shier Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hey Wayne---Thanks for the info.--Studebaker could possibly have made them for the '63 & 64--but for the rest of the Avantis, it had to be a Vendor---Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneC Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Not necessarily.... when Stude went out of business they still had a large parts stock, probably ordered in large lots for expected mass production. Altman bought the factory and the parts along with the rights to produce the car; there may well have been enough parts to last for many years. The Avanti power window switches of the 60's and 70's (maybe even early 80's) were also Ford parts, used on T-Birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
