Chuckwp Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Can anyone tell me what the opening in the door jamb (circled in red in photo) is for? Not my car, owner does not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage6t Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Most likely a dome light switch. Edited February 17, 2023 by vintage6t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) I went out to my 51 Plymouth and took a picture, it's where the serial number tag goes. On the pass side there is a round blank off plate screwed on there. I don't have an interior light, FWIW.

LazyK Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 my 51 cranbrook has the serial number tag like in snipers photo above. The passenger side has the dome lite switch as is in the photo by vintage6t above. The dome light is centered above the rear window. There is also a slide switch in the pillar between the front and rear doors on the drivers side(4 door car) that controls the dome light.

JerseyHarold Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 The passenger's side rectangular dome lamp switch opening went away in 1952 because the dome light switch was built into one of the hinge screws of the RF door.

Jim Neville Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm looking for a left side door switch for my '50 Windsor convertible. I have looked high and low for one but no luck. Anyone know where I might be able to find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sourced a right side switch, the style that is one of the hinge bolts, from a pick a part yard and installed it in the left front so my dome lite comes on when drivers door is opened. 52 Cranbrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
