The d o o r finishing panels used o n later " C " series C a d i l l a c
cars are h e l d in place b y two h a n g a r plates i n a d d i t i o n to the
bayonet t y p e fastenings used o n earlier cars. These hangar
plates are a t t a c h e d b y means o f screws t o the rear face o f the
finishing panel a n d over the regulator b o a r d , a n d the screws

v
A t t e n t i o n s h o u l d be g i v e n to the p o s i t i o n of the v a r i o u s
handles o n the doors for the greatest convenience o f the
operator.
A l l handles s h o u l d be placed so t h a t they lock i n the closed
position o n the d o w n w a r d s w i n g . T h i s gives the operator the
most advantageous leverage i n l o c k i n g the v e n t i l a t o r s to
prevent leaks.
T h e door w i n d o w regulator handles s h o u l d be p l a c e d in
s u c h a position t h a t they point away from the I. C . V . handle
when the w i n d o w is a l l the w a y up. T h i s position affords
more clearance between the v e n t i l a t o r handle a n d the w i n d o w
regulator handle when the w i n d o w is a l l the w a y u p o r d o w n .
18. R e p l a c i n g V e n t i l a t o r A s s e m b l y
T h e replacement of the v e n t i l a t o r assembly necessarily re-
quires the r e m o v a l of the o l d v e n t i l a t o r from the car a n d the
installation o f the new one. T h i s necessitates the r e m o v a l a n d
installation of the garnish m o u l d i n g , the belt finishing p a n e l
(on cars using finishing panels) a n d the t r i m . It is not
necessary, however, to remove the t r i m panel entirely b u t
merely to loosen it a r o u n d the w i n d o w a n d lock b o a r d , o r
regulator b o a r d as i n the case of the rear quarter w i n d o w s ,
a n d p u l l it a w a y from the door o r b o d y far enough to p r o v i d e
easy access t o the v e n t i l a t o r a n d b o a r d assemblies.

T h e r e m o v a l a n d i n s t a l l a t i o n of the door v e n t i l a t o r a n d

T h e r e are, however, slight differences in operation between
the first a n d second t y p e front doors a n d also between the
second type front doors a n d the rear doors. T h e r e m o v a l a n d
