closed. To open the wing, press button (B) on the locking handle and turn the
handle in clockwise rotation. The handle will lock automatically when returned to
its normal position.
Door windows can he lowered by turn-
ing the regulator handles in clockwise
rotation. See Figure 62.
The doors may be locked from the in-
side by turning the handles to the right
as illustrated in Figure 62. Turning the
handles in the opposite direction opens the
door.
The rear door and quarter windows on
the Sedan models and rear quarter win-
dows on Brougham models are controlled
by regulators, the handles of which are
located directly below the windows.
The rear quarter windows on the Se-
dan models slide backward and forward.
By moving the glass backward to give an
opening of approximately 1/2", a vacuum is created which draws air out of the body,
while further opening permits air to enter.
Inasmuch as the Automatic Draft Eliminator, which is located under the rear seat
cushion in Sedan and Brougham models, and just behind the rear seat in the rear
compartment of Coupe models, is made of cloth and acts as a screen to prevent dirt
and dust from entering the body, it should be inspected periodically and cleaned
when necessary. To clean, it is not necessary to remove the bag from the car, but
merely raise it with the fingers and tap the accumulation loose and permit it to
drop to the road surface.
The cowl ventilator will permit the entrance of large quantities of air into the car.
Its operation and extent of opening are controlled by a lever, the knob of which is
located directly under the center of the instrument panel.
Floor mats and carpets are all secured under the scuff plates so that dirt can
readily be swept off. The front mats can be withdrawn; however, it is necessary
to loosen the scuff plate screws to remove the carpets.
Upholstered Trim Panels
All door and rear quarter upholstered panels are held in place with clips
attached to the doors and pillar posts with screws.
The inside door handle and window regulator handles on door panels and
window regulator handle on rear quarter panels must also be removed to complete
removal of the panel.
To remove handles, gently depress handle finish plates and remove retaining
pins.
