Re: Glove box lock removal on 1936 senior car

Corrosion doesn't seem to be a problem; unlike some other cars I have picked up over the years. The cap is all one housing and I would destroy it to cut it off. I've tried Jewlers magnifiers on it and can't see anything that would help. (If superman was around Xray vision would help a lot). It looks like the lock cylinder needs to come out to let the lever that moves sideways to clear the back of the cylinder. The locksmith who has worked on many antique car locks can't figure it out either. Does anyone know who made the Packard glove box locks in the mid 30s maybe there may be information on other similar designs they made.
