Hand crank windows still come as an option on some new cars here. On our last couple used purchases, we insisted on hand crank. And new bikes come with downtube shifters and rim brakes. I believe 28" tire Indian made bikes, with rod brakes, can still be purchased new, though I may be wrong about the rod brakes. It could have changed to coaster brakes by now, Double top tube serves what purpose I don't know.
