alsfarms Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 HELP.... I have this roadster door and need some help to identify exactly what it is? Take a look and help me if you can. I can provide measurements if that will help with the ID. Secondly, I am looking for a mate to this door if you have one that you are not using.

viv w Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hi Alan, It looks very similar to 1930/1 Willy's Knight or ordinary Willy's Regards Viv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Hello, With the "hint" being the door is possibly being a Willys product, I googled pictures of Willys roadsters. I don't think the door is Willys. The belt line is not quite right and the bottom of the door is smooth with no belt line on it at all. Does anyone else have thoughts on the mystery door? I suppose that this door could be off some real obscure "Make" but I doubt it. The inner structure is all wood. How does this door compare with Buick or some of the other GM brands?

thehandleman Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 My Guess is 1929 1930 1931 Studebaker President Roadster or at least the door handle is Studebaker. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Good thought! I will check out 1929 and 1930 Studebaker roadsters. I do not think it is 1931 or 1932 Studebaker as those years were coupe roadsters with roll up windows, (this door is true roadster with no window).

alsfarms Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) OK, I did the Google trick and looked up pictures of 1930 Studebaker roadsters. It is not an 8 cylinder roadster door. However, please see the 1930 6 cylinder roadster picture. I think we have a match. Please share your thoughts. That was a very goo hint about using the door handle as a key to at least determine the make of manufacture. Does any Studebaker enthusiast know how many years shared this same door? Al I will try to load a larger picture so more detail can be seen. Edited June 7, 2020 by alsfarms clarity (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Here is another 1930 Studebaker 6 roadster picture. Larger and more detail. It sure looks like a match to my door. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
