    The add-on Caprice hood ornament is a turn off. Also, how were you supposed to pull closed the doors? No assist strap or indentation in the armrest.

    You grab the top of the door like every other red-blooded American. Hell, I have a grabbable armerst on Babe, but I grab the top of the door anyway.

    You grab the very front corner of the door in front of the window. You think I'm kidding? I've rode in rattletraps with nothing on the door panel at all!

    There is an indentation at the armrest. In this photo is is difficult to see but I assure you it is there. It is about 1" deep and runs the length of that armrest pad, you can see a little of the "pull" at the end of the armrest.

    Yes what Brad said. If you zoom that pic you can see it.
