If you think that's weird, ford made a keyed lock that went on the gear shift housing that locked the car in neutral. The police in cold areas used this so they could leave the vehicle running while they chased down the villains. The heaters in those cars weren't the greatest.

In that timeframe it was common to have only one exterior key lock on the passenger side front door. The reasoning was that it would prevent people from entering and exiting the vehicle from the left, traffic side. This was to reduce the chances of the driver getting hit by a passing vehicle.

Thanks for the information. I wonder why Ford did that?

Push the driver's side interior handle up and then exit the passenger side and lock the passenger door.

On my 1937 passenger car you push the interior handle up to lock the left door.

I know that my 1941 Ford Pickup has a door lock on the passenger side. How do you lock the Driver's side door?
