Roll down rear window "?"
I have a buddy who is wanting to put a roll down rear window in his '55. Just wondering if any if you have one, fabricated one, or have ever seen one done.

I don't know if he did or not, but I'd look up Keith Cruz on here.

I've got a small window F1 and I'd be happy with just a sliding rear window.

Did one in a 56, removed the inner half of the window opening, and the gas tank, fabricated a new set of channels and powered the whole thing with a power unit from a Country Squire station wagon tail gate, a '73 I think
