Question on 63 Side windows Plastic Window deflector

Post by rollsman44 »

On my 63 there are clear plastic window deflectors outside the vent windows in the front . Are these aftermarket or did they come with the car. Also, on the Passenger side under the dash there is a Pull lever. Not sure what this is. Thank you for your time.

Clear plastic deflectors are factory items and are available in reproduction. The pull lever on the passenger side is for the passenger side fresh air vent.

The extra pull lever on drivers side is the hood release...try pulling it out at speed and you will see what I mean...ha ha, yeah, sick joke sorry.

I can't place the extra pull lever on right side, can you post a photo of what it looks like?

Again , possibly referring to the fresh air vent on the drivers side . Ian
