I've got a '65 Spitfire. Does anyone know what the original window cranks
on this model looked like? I am missing one. The one I have left has a
black plastic knob with the chrome end showing through the center of it. It
has a hard dark plastic escutheon underneath it. When a replacement
crank I ordered came, it was all chrome, knob and all. I'd like to pursue
finding what was the original style of crank that came on this car. If
anyone knows, thanks in advance.
Question #2 - Was there a factory radio that came as an option? If so is
there anyplace to get one today, or one like it? What kind of antenna and
where was it mounted? Where did they put the speaker? Any replacements
available?
Thanks for any help.....
Hope to keep all original,
Larry
