Cars in the '80s had them, but don't think they made it in the '90s. My 1980 Malibu had them, and I know the 1987 Monte Carlo had them. Some people would cut the top off so the coat hanger trick would not work. The knobs are threaded, so you could buy straight ones w/o the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted March 21, 2022 Share #6 Posted March 21, 2022 I can’t remember the last time I had a car with those. Maybe late 1980’s early 90’s. Every car I had since at least 2000 has had a key fob and no pull things to unlock the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked my cousins about it and they said they never heard their uncle swear so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted March 21, 2022 Share #11 Posted March 21, 2022 Probably. It’s been a while, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
