The wire goes through the door frame about half way up, usually below the door stop and in a loom Braided Stainless Wire Looms. There are also contact sets, but they are often not too great Dakota Digital Door Contacts

Dave,
I thought he was wondering about an emergency release "wire"/cable as opposed to electrical signal wires, but I could be wrong? As for the contacts to eliminate wires across the hinge gap, I've seen more of those abandoned after a time than I've seen working right.

Roger -
That cable could go though the same or a separate wire loom, but end up in the front wheel well

Those @#$% contacts depend on perfect, repeatable door alignment and no corrosion - a virtual impossibility on a 75 y.o. car without new or rebuilt hinges and solid structure.
