michaelod Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I am trying to identify what vehicle these window cranks came off. I think they may be from a 1929 Cadillac but am not sure. Anyone know?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Close, but not quite. Here's a photo of one of my Hershey finds, a window crank for my '29. Of course, that's provided that the rest of the handles in my car are correct. Actually, that's not true, since the rest of the cranks in my car have amber plastic or bakelite knobs, not the metal one that this one has. I'm going to try some surgery on some spares that I have that are seized to the retaining nut and therefore ruined, and see if I can swap out the knob. Perhaps the metal knob was for open cars?Anyway, I don't have a definitive answer for you, but I'm 95% sure it's not from a '29 Cadillac. SO that's one possibility down, four thousand nine hundred and ninety nine to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelod Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the heads up Matt. They are pretty well made and appear to be rather upscale; possibly LaSalle? I'm suspect that they are some flavor of GM as the window regulators they came off of were very close to those on my Buick.

michaelod Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Mystery solved. These are for 1926 and 1927 Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
