Re: IML: 61 Imperial Door Locks

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

The power vent window switches are just ahead of the power window 
switches. The power door lock switches are mounted much lower, below 
the arm rest, and ahead of the door handle as you describe. The black 
"buttons" for the vent window switches are mounted up and down, instead 
of side to side like the side window switches.The black "button" on the 
power door lock switches is side to side like those for the side 
windows.

Subject: IML: 61 Imperial Door Locks


I thought I knew everything about the 61 Imperial but I was sure 
confused by what I saw today. One of the local Dodge dealers was 
hosting a small Mopar show. Lots of Chargers of course, but what caught 
my eye was a perfect, unrestored 61 Imperial 4-door Southampton. The 
paint was original, the interior was original - but everything was 
perfect. Now I know what my car would have looked like on the showroom 
floor. 
 
I spoke to the owner at some length (he is not on the IML and seldom 
uses a computer). He has owned the car for twelve years. 
 
As I ogled his car, I discovered something that I haven't seen before. 
The power door lock switch was located in the lower door panel just 
ahead of the door handle. Now I don't have power door locks on my 61, 
but on all the cars I have seen the switch is located just ahead of the 
power window switches. I think that the cars I have seen were all 
convertibles or two door so I am wondering if this something unique to 
the four door. I posted a picture of the door panel at 
http://kdmiller44.home.comcast.net/IML. ;
 
So, where are the power window switches on your 61 Imperial?
