On my 1936 4 door chev (built in 1935) there appears to be a locking unit on the inside of the doors but there is no handle or whatever for it. Can someone tell me what should be there and if possible send me a picture?

The 1935 Masters and all 1936 cars had a little toggle switch on the upper rear corner of the trim pad.

Upper front corner on the 35s. Originally was a rose colored plastic outer with a metal toggle in 35. Gene- what color was used in 36?

I believe it was gray....gray was the interior trim color in 1936.

Waggy:
These toggles sometimes show up on ebay but they have some kind of plating on them such as nickle or chrome. I think I've also seen these in black but I do not know what year or model they came from. You may need to expand your search to other adjacent years to find them.
Several GM cars used these including Pontiac and I believe Buick. The originals were plastic body and threads and they strip very easily. Good originals are very hard to find.
