Re: Conversion of 1941 hydraulic windows

Howard hiding the wiring in the mock hydraulic lines is exactly what I plan on doing on my '54. I ended up sourcing a complete set of '56 4-door power window switches to use as the '54 and prior switches are super expensive for some reason. Since I switched the car to 12 volt, I am just going to use a modern aftermarket power window setup, and remove the existing manual window assemblies.

I also bought a '56 under dash "Electro-Lock" button switch to control the power lock solenoids. I will tie that all together with the alarm to control everything. So a little modern convenience using all Packard switches and controls, but with all the modern bits hidden from view under the dash, and it the doors.
