White knob window cranks
Hi folks, Anyone know of a vendor out there that sell 67 window cranks with white knobs. My 67 gto has them to go with the parchment interior. All I seem to find are black or clear.
Thanks in advance! |

Check the Corvette offerings IIRC that is where we found some white knobs.

A dozen years ago I converted my 67 GTO (The Cruiser) to power windows, and hated to see the window knobs go to waste to tossed them on eBay. I was shocked when the bidding ended at $56.00. They were pretty nice for an old set, and I'd say that the stock color more closely matched the parchment interior than the new whiter knobs offered.

Realize this is an old thread but seems to me my 67 with parchment interior has white knobs AND black ones. (black in front and white in rear or vice versa) And I believe them to be original that way. Seems I heard someone mention this before too..

I pulled the original cranks off in 1988 when I converted to power windows on the Cruiser - forgot it was that long ago. This is one of the photos I posted on ebay when I sold them. At that time the car was 21 years old and you can identify the crank that was on the driver's door by the wear on both the knob and the chrome handle. The car was bought new by an older guy (younger than I am now ) and the car was a time capsule when I bought it from him in 1982. The car was definitely born with these.

Bought mine in '87 with 89k on it and really never noticed the two different colors. I read it somewhere, looked in my car and sure enough two colors. I could be wrong but seems to me I read some of the parchment interiors came that way. Go figure..
Not saying its correct, just bringing up an interesting point
