Maybe this helps, 64 Fury 4DHT driver door.
Locked.
Unlocked.
And a properly rusted 64 will have a hole in the driver side cowling big enough to accept a manly left arm to the shoulder, allowing access to the window crank handle.

Haywire with a loop in it, wiggle it between the weatherstrip and doorframe, grab the inner door handle and pull it back.

I'm sorry, but I've broken into cars way more difficult than this. I've got a slim jim older than many people on this site, I'd have that door open within a minute.

I've used the metal strip from a hanging file
folder. Works like a slim jim.

At one time I had a legal job using slim Jim’s to open cars, hardest cars to open were 4 door sedans with crank vent windows.

Years ago I locked the keys in my Dart Sport (Hang Ten) parked on busy Egglinton Ave. in Toronto. I went into a couple of local shops begging for a wire coat hanger. Finally got one and got to the task at hand. Just getting the hook in place and interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind me. Seems the Toronto cop did not like what I was up to. I explained that I had accidentally locked the keys in my car. He wasn't buying it, so I had to prove it was my car. I pointed out that the ownership was in the glove box and I will have to finish up to comply with his request. Wrong answer, so now he C-PIC's my plate to find out who the car is registered to. New problem is my wallet and ID to identify that I am the registered owner is in the glove box, in the car, that has the keys locked in it. This could have been in an Abbot & Costello movie! Finally, he let me finish opening the door but then he retrieved the ownership and my wallet to verify I was on the level. All this took about an hour and I still had a 3 hour drive to get home.
Sorry for the thread hijack but your dilemma reminded me on mine from days gone by.

The cops down here used to carry “slim jims”.They’d get the door open in about 10 seconds.
I guarantee my urologist could reach it.
When I was in college three of us used to take turns driving to school for the day.
One morning in Grand Rapids all three of our 77's were frozen (my Fury, a Cutlass and a Monte Carlo) I mean really frozen.
We poured boiling water on the GM cars but I think they had the security lock style on top so nothing to hook with a coat hanger and we didn't dare break the keys off.
My car was never locked and I was able to open the door after beating all around the perimeter and another dose of hot water.
But the passenger door wouldn't latch after I got that one open by kicking it from inside.
One of my roomates had to hold it closed for about 15 minutes until it thawed with finally a "click" and it latched shut just before we got to class.
I think it did something similar on the way home.
I remember driving around with one hand holding the drivers door shut as well on occassion.
Those were some good times, obstacles like that didn't bother us at all. (neither did the cold)
