Is that the factory tool or one your dad made or bought? Maybe you could measure and post the dimensions of the notch and length of flat portion that slides under the handle.

Just can't stay away

Those handle clips look very similar to early 60s Plymouth Valiants (and Dodge Lancers) and probably a lot of other Chryslers. Same technique of removal.

At one time, auto parts stores carried such tools. CalVan was one maker, as I recall. Most auto parts stores still carry a variety of specialty tools. The hidden clip style door and window handles were widely used. Some cars had a square shaft with a pin to hold the handle in place. The pin was retained by the escutcheon trim, which could be pushed in toward the door to allow removing the pin.

That's for the spring clip removal, right?

Back in the '70's I used a bent nail and a pair of vice grips to remove the spring clips on my old '65 Falcon. Used the same technique on my '37 115c when I had to replace the door glass a couple years back. No sweat.
