Howdy,

What years were this option available?
I've had no luck (due certainly to little computer research skill) at finding this info.

Power tailgate glass was optional from the very start of slant-6 cars in 1960. Standard equipment was a manual crank.

Thanks Dan, that helps.

Do you also know if there were pertinent motor changes along the way?
In other words, what years may I consider for a back-up motor for my '62?

Good question. FPCs show '60 with a unique part number, '61-'62 using another part number, and '63+ using another part number yet. Your 100% safest bet is '61-'62, can probably make a '60 motor work rather easily, and things might get difficult attempting to use a '63 or later motor. Is yours gone, or just dead? They can be rebuilt...

Thanks yet again. Yeah, lots of the '61 & '62 parts were indeed transitional.

No problem with mine at this point.
I long ago learned to keep a supply of the "harder to find" parts for the cars I prefer to drive on the shelf and I recently decided to maintain the electric window rather than eventually convert to the more common crank.
So a spot of shopping is in order for a decent (or at least rebuildable) motor as I can manage the mechanism myself.

I'm assuming I'll still need to get creative for guide trough materials, seals and such.
