BODY
car through the remote control handle, automatically
unlocks the door and the pawl lever returns
to its original or unlocked position.
All doors can be locked from the inside by the
pawl levers or from the outside by first tripping
the pawl levers up and then holding the outside
handle all the way down while closing the door.
The outside door handles are fastened with a set
screw through the face of the lock. This screw is
concealed underneath the chromium plated lock
finishing plate.
The inside door handles (window regulator
handles, remote control handles and windshield
regulator handle) are serrated on their shafts and
locked in place by a small plunger located inside
of the handle hub. Later type no-draft ventilator
regulator handles, however, which are installed on
the finishing panel, are locked to the shaft with a
set screw in the shank of the handle.
WINDOWS
The door windows have vertical guides and do
not depend on the glass run channels for support.
The glass run channels are made in one piece,
eliminating the possibility of noise at the joints.
The channels have chromium-plated edges and
inserts of special carpet material.
The garnish mouldings on the Series 10 and 20
Fisher Bodies and on the LaSalle are made of
steel and are retained in place by visible screws at
the sides and top. The garnish mouldings on the
Fleetwood bodies are invisibly fastened on all
doors except at the front pillar.
The trigger type lock is employed at the lower
side of the door window garnish mouldings on
these bodies while a bayonet lock is used at the
rear quarter windows.
Because the garnish moulding fastenings are
invisible on the Cadillac Fleetwood bodies, it is
necessary to know where they are located on
the various mouldings before proceeding to remove
the moulding. In general, the method is to hold
the bottom of the garnish moulding with a lock
of either the bayonet or trigger type. The sides
and top of the mouldings are held by plates which
slip under the glass run channels and are held
by screws through the channels.
around these windows are fastened with visible
screws at the sides and top.
The curtains at the back window and the rear
quarter windows are concealed.
WINDSHIELD
WIPER
The windshield wiper on Fisher bodies is of
the swinging arm type with two arms operated in
tandem by a single motor on the inside of the
top header board. The windshield wiper on
Fleetwood bodies with a straight windshield is of
similar design but with the wiper unit inverted
back of the instrument panel.
Two complete wiper assemblies are used with
V-front bodies. These are fastened to the cowl
bar back of the instrument panel and are also of
the inverted type.
KEYS
All keys are of the double-edge type and are not
numbered. The key number, however, is stamped
on a tab which should be broken off and retained
by the distributor or dealer upon delivery of the
car. A record of the key number should also be
kept by the owner.
These keys cannot be duplicated by anyone not
having a special cutter for them. Duplicate
keys, however, can be secured from any Cadillac
distributor or dealer, or from the Cadillac factory
Parts Division or from any Briggs and Stratton
distributor.
In case all keys and the key number are lost by
the owner, replacement keys can be obtained only
from the distributor or dealer from whom the car
was purchased originally, or from the Cadillac
factory Parts Division. It is important, therefore,
that all owners be cautioned to record the number
of their keys when purchasing their car, in order
to secure replacement keys with the least inconvenience
in case the original ones are lost.
The finishing panels are attached to the doors
separate from the garnish mouldings. These
panels are held in place by hanger plates and
bayonet locks.
Both the windshield and the rear quarter win-
