1972 Door handle (push button)

Crazy68Dart · August 23rd, 2007, 07:16 AM

Hi All. New to this great site. Don't mind the handle... I am currently doing a 68' Dart, but love all makes and models.

My grandpa has a 72' Ninety-Eight coupe w/455 that he bought new. He called me up last night and said that the driver's side door button is stuck in. He tore the door apart and found the a piece broke of the mechanism and the spring flew off, causing the button to stick. I have not looked at it myself, but I am sure the pot metal finally gave out and broke on him.

Are these handle assemblies the same as the Cutlass? I saw a button kit for a Cutlass in Year One's catalog, and wondered if it would do the job. If this is not it, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks all, great site.

I don't know if the mechanism would be the same in a Cutlass. You might look at Fusick auto parts. They have a specific catalog for Oldsmobile 98 and 88s.

Good luck!
