Vett door handles..
I have memories of playing at my friends house when i was young, and i remmeber his fathers 1969 vert that he still owns today. I remember always loving the look of the car and as a child my favorite part was the doors/door handle that pushes in. Anyone else love the door handles on the c3? i think they are very stylish and i love the lines of the car especially down the doors and wheel wells.

Absolutely!
The door handles on the C3 have always been one of my favorite features. They look very clean and aerodynamic and give the car a custom look. Much better than some off the shelf door handle or the crack prone handles on the F-bodies.
I'd put my appreciation of the handles up there with the 69 Charger gas cap (another classic touch).
STW!

Do you think they designed the "can't be opened by children or females" feature on purpose?

I like them also until I had to replace the drivers side handle where the spring broke so the lock did not work. I ordered a new part from Ecklers but did not like the product so I took the new spring and stuck it on the old handle. Only two hours work..............Ok now I like them again!
