[LocuMob]

Trunk lock?

Trunk lock?

correct

 

[Big blubber]

It's a strange place for a trunk lock ,Is that a plymouth thing ,

 

[commando1]

Mopar was strange.

Mostly a design gag, integrating the lock in the trunk lid script. You could argue though you're safer Close to the curbside if you lock up the trunk at least in countries where they don't drive on the "wrong" side.

 

[CanCritter]

ya was one of their saftey selling points 70/71...was susposed to keep folks clear of traffic when opening trunks

 

[commando1]

If you're rear ended, a ft. or 2 either way aint going to make much difference.

If they were that concerned they would have done it across the board

Yea why do it for one model ,And not another .

 

[commando1]

Yep

 

[CanCritter]

obviously if yer rear ended your toast anyway but was primarily to keep folks closer to sidewalk ect

 

[commando1]

You mean the person on their cell phone who swings open the door and steps out into traffic as if invincible?

It is also more convenient if the car is backed into the garage all the way and you have to go get something out of the trunk. My garage was built for cars a little shorter than the Fury of those days.
