The assist straps you see over the rear door of 60's LeBarons are called lavaliere straps. They are there in case the rear seat passenger needs an assist making a graceful exit. They are also found on limousines such as my '55 Crown. Another thoughtful touch from the past that distinguishes a top drawer car from the rest.Cheers,Roger'55 Crown, '65 LeBaron and '68 LeBaron with lavaliere straps
