I believe that Golde also made fabric sunroofs. I do not believe that they were used on 1973 Avantis.
studegary Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 Stretching for this one. How about the adjustable shock absorbers?
wwundt Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 My Recaro seats were made by REuter CAROsserie Kircheim/Teck Germany.

Recaro's would definitely be one.....but were they an Avanti factory option in 1973? There's one (actually two!)..German made items yet to be mentioned folks....and these items were used in Avantis back to '63!
wwundt Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 Some power window motors were made by Bosch?
wwundt Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 "Original motors have four wires coming out of their cases, and carry the 1960 Ford/Lincoln part number C0LF-14553-A, or Bosch M 05810."
Gunslinger Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 Recaro seats didn't show on the option sheet until about 1980. They may have been available prior to that but not on printed option sheets updated every year.
