Guest aschexy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I would love your help identifying what car model these doors belong to. Sorry for the weird angles - we found this treasure in the attic of our new house! They must have stored the doors there before adding the ceiling because there's no easy way to get them out. From what I can see there is a very old door handle and a sliding glass window. Maybe they are removable doors to an old jeep? I thought it would be worth figuring out what they are first before I make the effort to cut the ceiling and get them out. Thank you!

Ozstatman Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 G'day aschexy, From your avatar photo you appear to be in Sydney. If I've got that wrong please disabuse me of that notion! You say "Maybe they are.......old jeep", that gave me an idea(I know, dangerous!) that maybe they are Landrover? One way to probably confirm that is to check if they are made of aluminium(US = aluminum). If aluminium, then my next port of call would be the local Landrover club. Here's a link to the NSW Landrover Club if indeed you are in Sydney - http://www.lroc.com.au/ They hold their meetings at Denistone, just down the road from where I used to live, Eastwood.

Guest aschexy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks all! I've been googling my brains out and still haven't made any matches. I think I'll hoist myself up in the attic again to get some better photos and look for any manufacturer marks. Any more suggestions, keep em coming! Thanks!

dictator27 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It looks to me like the frames of the doors are wood? Combined with the T handle that would make them very old. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like rubber weatherstrip and a metal frame to me. Just painted black and the body may have been sprayed red at some time by the paint spray on the weatherstrip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehandleman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I think old milk truck or delivery type truck just a thought the T shape handle is it brass it is 1922-1926 era nickel 1926-1928 chrome 1929 up just a wide perspective good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodfiddler Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Aschexy - Do be careful up there as I see minimum footholds to safely lift the doors down to a flat surface for examination. Also be conscious of the broken glass in the windows. No incidents or injuries are desired. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
