I wish I had roll up windows in my car and that little vent window that the old cars had. These electric windows are a pain when they break down....and expensive to repair.

Absolutely, with no need to turn the key on to use the windows, or unlock the doors. I actually just did that with my current project. I just built a custom 78 4X4 Chevy van. Someone put electric windows and locks in it back when. I changed them back to hand crank and it already has the “Wind Wing” Windows. :)

And I have this 4X4 1 ton rated van tuned to get 16 Mpg loaded pulling a loaded car trailer, 18 empty. Friend of mine owns an emissions testing shop and it blew him away how clean this thing is running even without catalytic convertors.

I would rather dump 20 grand into an older classic and have a real car than buy a new piece of garbage.
