Old Fart question--NO LBC

["Scott Gardner" <gardner@lwcomm.com>]

This is for the older members of the list that were around in the 
1950's.  I was watching a show on Speedvision about "Lead Sleds" and 
other cruisers, and most of them had the door handles shaved off.  I 
know that today, a handle-shaving job is usually done in conjunction 
with the installation of a remote-control electronic actuator, but 
how did you open the doors without handles back in the 50's when this 
first started becoming popular?
