The '51 Victoria has the short handles (in the '51 style). Windows on the coupes pushed out (no cranks).

Hi....As a side discussion, my '51 Custom Club Coupe has the rear side windows that push open, but my understanding is that the rear side windows on the Business Coupe did not open at all. BT

Hi Ken, In my experience, 1949 and 1950 convertible rear window regulator handles have the same chrome arm but different knobs. 1949......round chrome ball 1950 Ford........round ivory plastic with a smaller diameter concave stainless insert Those handles mount on a square post. The 1951 convertible and Victoria version is totally different. It is held onto a round serrated post with a C-clip. The 1951 escutcheon which mounts between the back of the handle and the upholstered interior panel is also quite different from the 1949/1950 escutcheon. You may have difficulty finding those 1949 convertible-only handles in nice condition. Most are either pitted, or in the alternative, badly pitted. Mine had to be replated and turned out very nice ($75.00 each plus eco fee plus tax).
