Late 60's to early 70's Buicks. The problem is that it needs to be the 
driver's side windows since the gear is on the wrong side for the 
passenger's. Upshot is you want a driver's rear window motor.

The other problem is that the Buick motors were grounded to frame. Using 
them with an Elec-trak means instant ground fault. So to do it right you 
need to open the motor and run a wire from the top brush holder out.
