A friend is doing up a '33 International pick-up. The driver's door has no key port for the lock but the passenger's side does. He also has a '40 something Studebaker pick-up that is the same way. We were trying to come up with a theory as to why they did it this way back then. It would seem to make more sense that if you were only having one key port to have it on the driver's door. Even after a few bottles of thinking fluid we still couldn't make any sense out of it. Does anyone have a solution to this mystery?

Of course.  Any true gentleman will open the passengers door first for his significant other...

I like Burdar's answer better, but I think A.Gramz might be right.  Different times back then.  :notsure:

        @ A.Gramz pretty much is right. Also the streets in towns were very narrow back then and getting out on the drivers side could be dangerous. Only way to lock to driver door was inside. My sisters 49 Chevy truck is the same way.

You know, I seem to remember people getting in on the passengers side in episodes of The Andy Grifith Show. I thought that was odd. Now it makes sense.
