What do these do?
Forgive me for the dumb question, but I have no manuals, and this is my first Oldsmobile.
What do these two ***** do under the dash? Vehicle is a 1965 Jetstar
Also I'm missing the plate for my convertible switch.
Thanks!

If they are seized-up, check the vent doors and you can oil the flexible cables. I'm lucky! Mine work fine. A must when you don't have AC!

Olds64 DON'T TOUCH THOSE!
If you pull those ***** in the proper sequence the car will self destruct! That feature was installed in Oldsmobiles during the Cold War in case of communist invasion.

If it's like some of my cars, you'll find out that pulling the ***** while cruising on the highway causes mouse turds to rain on your feet...

Murphy's law states that the cleaner the carpet, the bigger the chance of it getting dirtied...
The law of carpet accidents:
"The probability of a buttered piece of bread falling onto carpet butter side down is equally proportional to the cost and condition of the carpet."

But of course! Only Jetstars had these. The other big Oldsmobiles without A/C did it with pushbuttons!
Which can rapidly become a PITA when 40+ year old vacuum diaphrams rot and fail, and then your fancy power operated floor vents do not work...
I pulled one on an old ElCamino I had years ago and a dried up lizard blew out of it. Oh well- coulda been a snake...

If a buttered piece of bread/toast always lands butter side down and a cat always lands on its feet, What happens when you tape a buttered piece of bread to a cat's back?
I think just before it hits the ground, it will stop in midair and continue to spin!
