Re: 54 convertible

Some Ford products used the round bezel and black button but don't know if they were still using hydraulic windows. Our seat buttons were black in 54 but not the same internal electrical configuration so probably not a direct swap. As you said, who knows what might have been done.

I don't remember the brow over the drivers side switches either but maybe it was there on 54s. The shells over the 4 buttons sure appears oxidized or rusted. Even the pot metal seems to have held up better.

One other interesting thing is that the convertible top knob below the ashtray appears to be a stock chrome dash button. In pictures I've seen of convertible knobs, they are plastic with the instructions on them -- just like the photo in the 54 owners manual.
