Inside door handle deletes
Anybody have an idea what these were for; or if they are even Ford parts.
The parts may resemble late '50s interior handles. They fit over door and window crank splines and snap into place with an internal spring. Part number 1A-18333 9280 |

Re: Inside door handle deletes
Could they be used when car was equipped with electric windows?

Re: Inside door handle deletes
Maybe early version of child proof windows or doors. 😃

Re: Inside door handle deletes
I believe as others was early form of child lock outs. My Dad installed a set on our 56 Mercury 4 door rear doors when my little brother became a toddler.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
My guess would be for the back doors of a police car.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
It surprised me. I had no idea of how and why.
BASIC PN 18333 is also used for the rear door safety lock kits but they secure the lock knob(s). 1A 18333 was deleted from the 1949/59 FORD MPC FINAL ISSUE. PREFIX 1A translate to 51 FORD.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
Just curious if that part is different from the power window crank hole cover. There would be no splined crank handle shaft on power windows. Wonder how they attached it to the door panel? Just asking because has me thinking. 54 first year for power windows for Ford since the Sportsman but 51 part number. Now I'll not sleep since I don't have any books that go past 65.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
I still have the original door panels for my '54 with electric windows. The driver's side has a hole corresponding to where the window crank handle would be as does the passenger door. There could be other applications I'm sure. However, that puts me in a dilemma. Trying to restore this car as close to original as possible I have just learned I need more pieces. @ rich b, do you have two for sale? p.s. I have the doors from a '54 merc that had power windows. One of them has a medallion with, I'm guessing, an early Merc design. It has a holder that attaches to the panel. Those doors will be for sale pretty soon. Only difference from a hardtop '54 is the holes for the outside stainless trim.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
To keep everything simple (and cheap) The holes may have been in the backing board regardless of power or non power windows (back then, power windows were fairly rare). If power windows, the material would cover the holes for manual window cranks. On some back boards, I have seen the partially stamped outline of an option that was possible but not on the particular car.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
IF ...
... this part had more than one use, it's description has been deleted from the MPC. If there was no driveshaft on the regulator, (or FORD used the same regulator), there must be (have been) a retainer to hold that piece to the trim panel.

Re: Inside door handle deletes
From the Ford. On the outside you can see an imprint of something circular and on the inside the imprint of whatever held it in place.
