[Healeys] Atlantic with power windows!

[Alan Seigrist]

Tadek / Kees -

It was an option on A90 Atlantic Convertibles to have power windows in
1948/49, if you can believe it.  The factory used, if you can believe this,
a hydraulic ram system to move the windows up and down, and the convertible
top up and down.  Let's just say you would not want to get your fingers or
your neck stuck in there somewhere then it was in operation.

You can see how the whole thing was plumbed in these pics:

Note that I have seen that black A90 in Tadek's link around before.  It is a
highly modified A90 and not really my cup of tea.  It should not have power
windows (it's a coupe) so probably some aftermarket kit.
