Not sure if any folks out there caught the TV mini-series 'The Cars That Changed America', which aired recently in my viewing area. It was a 3-part, 2 hour per segment chronology of the advent of the automobile from the turn of the 20th century to the post-war era. Unfortunately, there was zero mention of Packard and it focused on the 'Big Three', although when it showed Henry Ford riding around, he was in a Packard!
Anyway, I noticed on several B&W, old time clips, it showed drivers getting in and out of their cars curbside and made note of it as I had read about that as being the reason the passenger door had the keyed handle, on this site and it certainly confirmed that in the videos.
