AMT Power Windo-Lifts for full size cars

Spotted this inside a kit listed on eBay:

Has anyone here ever seen these? Maybe a coincidence, but the AMT '57 Fairlane has a set similar to these as custom parts - they glue on over the window cranks.

Haven't seen them in person but I remembered seeing them in my old car magazine (small pages) collection. I pulled out a few and got lucky - it was in the second I looked in. It was "Accessory of the Month" in the January 1959 issue of Car Craft. There's a 3 page article (again, these are small pages with large print and it's mostly photos) showing how to install them. Retail price was $35.50. It's cool that they're in the '57 Ford kit. I have one unbuilt on the shelf. If I build it I'll be sure to install those.

I know another old mag has a small ad for them but I decided to quit while I was ahead and didn't look for it!
