There was like 1 button on the dash- nothing extra. It was pretty bare bones to the point that the only way you could lock the door was to put the key in the lock every time you left the car. It sounds trivial, but you couldn’t just press the lock down and shut the door. You couldn’t even do it by holding the handle up as you closed. I’ve had cars without automatic locks before but this was ridiculous. It sure does make you appreciate the ‘luxury’ of automatic doors and windows.

We did have a Bluebird too. It was not that enjoyable, but I didn’t have problems with it either:
