harvest Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 cant figure out what these tall doors might have been used on? They have been barn kept for decades. They both have the chain style window crank unit. The one hinge has a casting L-5281 or 5261? The wood on both doors is stamped 39665. Any help much appreciated identifying these. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I would say 1922-1923 Model T Ford Centerdoor Sedan but the middle and top hinges don't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I think all of the center door Ts had a reveal around the door edge. The items in question are smooth around the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvest Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Layden & Keiser, appreciate the heads up leading possibly to the model T center door. Possibly the door hinges have been altered. These look like they never had a outer shell rib as Keiser noted. maybe some kinda special T or something? Did the 22-23 T's have a chain system that ran the window crank?

oldford Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Center doors did not have a window crank. They either had a cloth strap or a lever along the window side rail to raise and lower the door glass. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Looks like they may be for a higher end scale car than a Model T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I am not saying it is studebaker by the parts books indicate that some 1919 through 1923 studebaker closed cars used a chain lift for windows. The hinges also look like some hinges I have that came off a 1924 light six coupe.

nzcarnerd Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The style of the number stamp is remarkably similar to the stamp used the put the number on the chassis of our 1925 Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeboy Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) 1917 Studebaker series 18 cars had rounded door at least in the touring cars. I can't find a picture of an enclosed car for 1917. Here is a link to some pictures. https://www.pinterest.com/studebakerofaustralia/studebaker-1917/ Edited May 6, 2019 by studeboy (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Kind of looks like the doors of the late tees or early 1920s electric car. Tall windows for extra headroom for hats and bonnets. The screws instead of nails indicate a higher end car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drwatson Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I'm thinking the doors might be to a pre-1920 Town car, similar to (but not quite) the pictured 1918 Cunningham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvest Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 its hard to see if the center door has the rounded bottom corners. appreciate you posting that picture. Ive never seen a car like that before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The exterior door handle is identical to those on my 1922 Paige 4-passenger phaeton. All of those bodies were built by Wilson of Detroit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oily rag Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Check out under "cars for sale' - 1914 Willoughby The doors look about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAH Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 These doors are from a '21 or '22 Dodge Brothers type A sedan. That number stamped on one would be the body number and is close to the body number on my '22 type A sedan. The type B (or business) sedan had leatherette upholstery.

RAH Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Harvest, Not only are these doors for a '22 Dodge Brothers type A sedan they are both rear doors since there is no outside key lock showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
