Hi Greg, I had this problem on one of the doors to my '66 when I owned it. Fairly simple to open the door. Takes two people. 1) Make sure that the door is unlocked. 2) Have someone stand outside the car and hold the exterior door handle in the "up" position. (as if trying to open the door) Make sure that they are standing where they will not get hit bu the door when you... 3) sit between the two front seats (or center of the bench) and kick the door open with your right foot. Works every time. Imperial Regards, Jay Mc Kee 1962 Crown Southampton 4-door
