Armrests or handles? I know some vehicles had inner pull-handles (like suitcase handles) that would flop down when not in use. Others had a plastic strap that slid in and out of the end holders, so it would sit flush when not in use, but give some finger space to grab and pull the door closed (possibly saving wear on the latch handles)


Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice)
\'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run.
My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
