GTEs - How many had power windows?

Post by NOTRED »

I have a Series 1 GTE with original power windows. How rare was this option? Were there Ferraris before the GTE with power windows? Maybe Super America, Superfast or special coachbuilt 250s?

I do not have an answer to that question in the register. I have seen a few with what look like GM switches, but don't know if what is inside the door is original or GM. At least one 60's review has mentioned the electric windows. If you have electric windows, let me know and I will add that category to the Register!

If anybody has a photo of the motor and how it fits inside the door, I would like to see that.

NotRed - I find if I shrink the photo to 500-600 wide, it works. The motor is smaller than I thought and looks pretty simple to install. Does it work well? Wonder why more buyers did not go for this option

They work pretty well. Really nice being able to open the passenger side with the control just next to your left hand on the door. How many owners in the Registry have stated this option? I heard only about 10 cars.
