John,Thanks for the kind words. Tush, you're right. You have to turn the key half way between lock and unlock and use it to pull the lid up. Funny it took 4 years to add a handle. Steve, it's too well documented to let photobucket ruin it. Once I'm done I'll compile the journey into a PDF I can share with anyone interested. These old cars need all the help we can give their owners to keep the fun alive!
My 54 has a handle with the key hole in the middle.
