Packard lovers, I'm bringing out my 48 deluxe 8 club sedan after 15 years in storage. the drivers door latch is broken and I cannot open the door to remove and service the latch. A small piece of flat metal about an inch long x 1/4"broke and fell out of the latch. Is there a way to release the mechanism and open the door? Don
