 The inner workings of the doors are accessed from the outside of the car by unbolting the door skins. As far as I know, after the Riviera, the next American car with bolt-on door skins was the Saturn. Great question.....

Now I'm in trouble, you answered the bonus question properly (exactly on the money) and Boothboy answered the first question so I think it's Boothboys floor but you to can fight over it and I will watch.

I remember them now but I can't remember ever having to pull one apart. Inner door release handles both front and rear on the doors , great for getting out of the back seat so I could go to the snack bar at the Sepulveda Drive-in after messing with my girl! The height of sophistication, Cold Duck in a thermos and a hot dog from the snack bar! My brother ended up with the car and I got drafted!
Come on Joe Ask a question.

That car was a Mercedes CL63 of the day I'll tell you that, it was so friggin overbuilt it was crazy. It was the first car that I had ever seen with heating ducts spot welded to the floor bringing air from the heater/AC to the rear passengers.
And do you know the stylist/designers name and what other cars he did?  Brian

Distributor/voltage reg./ (possibly) generator adjustment tools.
If I'm right I have no question, so Dinger- if you have something go for it. If not, back to Boothboy.
