Question: Door locks on Sport Coupe circa 1935

Does anyone know how exactly the door locks worked on the Packard Sport Coupe, circa 1935? Did all Packard models around this time lock the same way? Could a person lock the doors from the inside of the car (with or without the key)? Did they lock individually or all at once? Were there buttons, knobs, or just a keyhole on the outside of the door? Did the passenger doors have keyholes? Any information on this would be appreciated. I am working on something and need to know this urgently for the sake of accuracy. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Usually the passenger door is the one with the key hole, not the driver's door. If you see one with the driver's door that has a key, it may be incorrect.

Thanks. Do you know if you could lock the doors from the inside with knobs or the like? I'm already fudging it, but I want to at least TRY to be accurate. =0)

What is a "Sport Coupe"?

I'm not sure for that year. On my 1940, to lock from the inside, you move the handle in the opposite direction than the way you open. It's been so long since I've been in it, that I don't remember which way is what. But I'm sort of thinking there may have been a door-lock "switch" on the earlier car from the 1935 period. I know our 1936 Chevrolet had a little toggle switch on the door, but I just don't know for sure on the Packard.

The interior door handle is flipped up to lock the door on a 1935 senior series car, just like the 40, and you push forward or down to unlock. There is no small knob or remote switch to lock the door, as there is on a Cad. Each door is done individually. The lock on the outside is part of the handle, and in 35 the lock is covered by a thin, round springloaded cover that must be moved to insert the key.

Thanks so much!!!
