Cord sedan body

A locking fuel door was stock. The cylinder was entirely contained in the knob, so the hole was relatively small.

Non-locking knobs were after-market replacements, offered by the ACD factory when the originals were gone. (Or, you could stop at your local hardware store and buy a nice kitchen cabinet knob . . .)

If you look closley at the filler door of Rays car it has a small pull. I understood all the cars had locks on the filler doors. I have a similar arrangment pull and it appears to be stock. There would have to be a large hole to set in a fuel-door lockset. Is this a stock filler door? Looks like an original cover.
