Ken & Gents,
Lurk, Lurk!
The robe cord on my 1925 Series 80, 7-passenger DeLuxe is original.
Note that the handles are located as such because exiting a Series 80 7-Passenger sedan is hugely difficult for anyone taller than 4-feet 8-inches.
Getting in is a snap. Getting out is the problem.
The handles mounted on the rear door on my car are on the middle of the door, about 1-inch below the window surround trim.
I believe that they exist to assist in closing the door and having something to hold as one steps down from the coach to the running board.
On the front doors, the handles are mounted toward the rear of the door and also 1-inch below the window surround trim.

Thank you, that gives me a good idea. Mine are not in the correct spot.

Does anyone know if the PA series 81 (1928) 5 pass. sedan have interior door handles on the door panels or on the back of the front seat? Mine does not. Thanks.
Ken,
Here is a photo of the placement of the handle on my REAR door.
