Question Parts interchange question: power window switch

Hello,

I have a simple question: what years and models of cars have power window switches that will interchange with those on a 1966 Oldsmobile Starfire?

It seems like I've seen that style of switch on lots of older cars, but I have no idea if the electrical part of the switch (the part we don't see) is compatible across years or not.

I am including a portion of a photo of the driver's side door. The switch has a more rounded bezel than some of the later switches. Is this just a cosmetic difference?



And of course the follow-up questions: are these still manufactured somewhere, and can I buy one affordably?

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the links. I have ordered things from Fusick before, and they were one of the first places I looked.

However, window switches do not appear in the Fusick 88-98-Starfire catalog. There are switches in the Cutlass catalog, and they LOOK just like the ones in my car. They are labeled as being appropriate for 1964-1970 Cutlass cars. If someone can confirm that the power window switches used in the 1966 Cutlass are the same as those used in the full-sized models, then I think I will get out my checkbook.
