ONCE INSIDE Once an admirer is inside they can't seem to figure out what to press or pull to open the door to get back out

the 63 coupe attracts them all 63 coupe classic comments " The early 64s were made with the split window, is that a 63 or 64?" "looking for a late 65 coupe because they were made without the roof vents" "what kind of car is that?" "that's my favorite color!" saddle tan/ saddle leather...
