Thanks for all the good input on who invented the Hill Holder. Now for my next question, why is the key lock on my 64 Champ on the passenger side?
To lock the thing I must lock the driver door, slide across and exit the passenger door and use the key to lock it. Reverse the proceedure to enter. None of that lock the door and hold the button when you close it, no, use the key...ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I often leave it unlocked.
Was this a cost saver? Even so why on the passenger side? I seem to recall reading that a driver side key lock was an option. Was this a safety thing so I won't stand in the street to lock the door? Were Larks like this also? Is there some reason that this makes sense that I just don't understand?
