1954 DOOR SAFETY FEATURES
Cadillac door checks are designed
for the safety and convenience of the
driver and passengers when entering
or leaving the car. They counterbalance
the doors for easier opening
and hold them positively in position
when fully opened.
Sedan rear doors are fitted with push-down door locks
designed to safeguard children by disengaging the inside
door handle when button is in down position. When doors
are shut and button pushed down, doors cannot be opened
from the outside without a key, nor can they be opened
with the inside door handle. If preferred by owner, locks
can be adjusted so that inside handles will open doors when
push button is in down position. 77
