People in the back of police cars were not given the benefit of door handles or window cranks, I noticed, so we were blessed to be chauffeured to jail in smothering heat, watching the men mouth things we were glad not to know.

Parts rarely fit together correctly, window cranks fell off on the first turn, engines broke down within weeks, and extras like air-conditioning were alien concepts.

I don't care where he's taking me, I don't even care that there's no handles or window cranks on the doors.

The choke and window cranks showed their age.

Limited preparation was permitted, and since the entrants were meant to be street-driven race cars, the original rules required the retention of headlights, seats, upholstery, window cranks, stock brakes and original springs and radial tires.

Later rules regarding headlights, seats, upholstery, window cranks, original springs, and other stock elements were loosened up somewhat.

Other weight-saving measures included the elimination of such street items as the sunvisors, radio, heater, wheel covers, passenger side windshield wiper, arm rests, rear window cranks, mirrors, sound deadening material, carpeting, trunk mat, lug wrench, jack and spare tire.

A lot of the parts of the interior such as the steering wheel and the window cranks were similar to those in other Ford vehicles like the Bronco, Escort, and the F-Series.

Both of the window cranks had been removed in the rear.

Door handles, locks, and window cranks were modernized and less protruding, the door pockets were elastic, the rear-view mirror frame was chrome instead of black plastic, and the side view mirrors became more angular.
