I have a slight fear of climbing in the back of my hearse. It has nothing to do with the fact that dead people were back there. That doesn't bother me. It's the fact that if a strong wind comes by and blows the door shut, I can't get out. Is there a reason there are no door handles in the back? Did someone at some point make a daring escape on their way to the cemetery? I seriously don't think I can climb through the sliding windows in the divider, nor do I want to try. If I climb in the back I have to open all the doors just to evade my fear. It is almost time to figure out if I can easily install some inside handles.

My '80 S&S Victoria is the same way, there were never any inside door releases on any of the 3 rear doors or a place for them. Side door glass is stationary so if you are back there & the doors close, your only hope is to climb through the divider glass into the front.

it's an '88 Buick LeSabre Estate Wagon. Converted by Superior. I am not sure if the doors were just re-paneled or if they were fully redone. I don't believe that the original doors had key holes on the back doors, but all 5 of my doors can be keyed into. There are a few things I have to do to get my car registered in CA, and the doors at this point are the least of my worries at the moment, but will probably be the first thing I do after registration.

Could it be as simple as the thought that they just didn't think the guy "riding" in the back would need them? With the exception of the models that have seats for the loved ones to ride along I'd say the other "passenger" wouldn't more than likely be trying to make an exit. But you never know.....
