Re: Ok, I'm calling your bluff. Show me how Packards were "better".

Now I also worked on one of those Lebaron Sport Sedans with the hydraulic windows. I've never heard of any regulators fitting those cars so if I had to choose between the Lebaron and the 41 Sixty Special I'd take the Cadillac. I can always put a 49 OHV engine in the 60 Special, but there is nothing you can do about the Packard windows.

Tangential to the main topic here but as long as the hydraulic windows were brought up, let me add that I know of 1 41 LeBaron Sport Brougham and another 41 180 138"wb sedan where the windows were converted to electric. I don't know any specific details but in the case of the LeBaron the replacement window regulators were taken from Jeep Cherokees and I was lead to believe the conversion was relatively simple. No other info but I could contact the owner if there was interest.
