Those with a back seat (not rumble) were Victorias, I believe!

Folks,
On my 47 2106 the owners manual says the "ammeter" is not one! Is it a voltage meter, then_?

Use an escutcheon tool. Worked on my Clipper. Use plastic putty knives to hold the gap open, and tap out the retaining pin. Bought at

Thank you! I appreciate your help.
I called a locksmith. He used air bladders to open the passenger vent a smidge and got the passenger door unlocked. The vent window was cracked, however. Both did not fail at the same time, I assumed a previous owner changed the lock cylinder on the passenger door and I did not get the key. Now, I think I was wrong. I was able to use the unlock button to get the passenger side open via vent window which got cracked. However, the drivers door will open with the inside handle only and the lock knob moves and makes normal clicking noises. I will open the drivers door and go from there.

I have a 1947 Clipper. I came out from dinner one evening last week and could not get my drivers door unlocked. The lock cylinder rotated normally but the door handle would not unlock. I tried the passenger door and the same problem. I thought at first the passenger lock had been changed by a previous owner. Now I think they both failed for the same reason.
Any tips on this repair? ![]()

There are plenty of them in Hemmings. I have never used one but plan to do so. I have aux gauges for engine temp and oil pressure I want to get rid of, But, not until the ones on the dash are rebuilt. Any recommendations for a vendor, anyone?
