In this era, the driver got out on the passenger side, after locking his side from the interior; then the passenger door lock had the keyway, which would secure the car. This might have been a safety feature so the driver would not disembark into the street. Tony had to restructure the rumble seat lid using new metal for alignment. The rumble seat has a functioning key lock, and the compartment holds the battery. Tony contracted for the glass work done at his house. And Tony arranged for Angelo, the upholsterer, who did the complete interior from headliner to doors to floor mats.
