Hey Everyone
I am needing a driver's side door handle and locks for the drivers door and trunk for a 56 ser. 62 Coupe . Thanks Dan 865-410-0473.

Dan,
Just FYI here, those outside door handles are specific to the 2 door model.  I have a 4 door parts car and I thought I had a bunch of spare handles, but unfortunately,  they are slightly different from each other.
The 2 door handles have a notch in the back edge for that thin trim molding to pass behind the handle. The 4 door models don't sit right on top of the molding like the 2 door does, so they don't have any notches on the back edge.
Just a little tidbit of information I found out the hard way.
Also,  the 2 door has the older style of latch assembly with the roller on the end of the striker.
The 4 door model has the newer rotating latch wheel on the doors. The release rod on the pushbutton is different than the 2 door handle pushbutton rod.
HTH,
Rick
