225 viewsThis is the prototype push button that opens the door. Its a very interesting part, When you are pushing on the button, how is the door supposed to open? The answer is. The door lock reciever on the door post has a spring loaded piston that pushes the door open after its released. See the other pictures. It appears to be the same lock that was used in ex122. As far as I know the two that we have with this car are the only two in existance. You can see the hand made file marks on the cylinder. The top of the cylinder is a complex curve so as to fit the curvature of the door at the point of install. Double click on any picture to leave your comments or questions, under comments and votes.

277 viewsCan you imagine the the amount of work that went into these parts to produce the first set of locking exterior door locks for corvettes. When i saw these parts 35 years ago i was amazed then, as i am now. I knew that no private customizer would have spent the amount of money to build these intricate experimental parts.These parts were what led me to box up the car and put it into storage for thirty five years, until i could prove what corvette it really was.
