Many thanks to: Thomas E. Potter, Steve Van Cleve, Don Merriman, Levi Smith, Dave M., Mitch Haley, Christopher McCann, Kevin Kraly, Randy Bennell, Luther Gulseth, Gabriel S., Rick Knoble, Mike Boerner, Dennis Perkins, Lt. Don, David Brodbeck, and Steve McSween for the suggestions on getting the trunk lid open. I'm going to try each one before drilling out the lock.
If I have to drill out the lock and "that" doesn't work, I might try Gabriel S.', but I'll probably make a rumble seat out of it. The first car in my family back in the 1930s, an Oakland, had a rumble seat and it was great. (o:] Sincerely, Gerry Archer '83 240D + 300D
