@obermotor – I don't see any indication that it has power brakes or power steering??? It does appear to have power windows; do they all work? What about a power top? ...
It does not have power steering and it’s pretty tough to turn as it was in 1948. Don’t believe it has power breaks, but it stops pretty easily. It does have hydraulic electric windows and top. Top works great all the windows work great with the exception of passenger front door. It is a mechanical issue, not a hydraulic issue. It seems a weld broke that attaches the window to the mechanical scissor that raises it up and down. I do not know how to weld although I have tried to fix the problem. This is part of the reason I Lowered the price to this level. Thank you for inquiring any other questions. Please feel free to ask.
