I thought the door lock was located directly beneath the push knob?

I must admit I am not very familiar with the old cars though, but I checked
some pictures of 60's cars, and my suspicion was correct. Marcel, I must say
that it looks like your car has been the victim of a modification to install
the older door handles.
