STAYGOLD Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just wondered if anyone could help correctly ID these doors? I believe they are early 1950's (maybe to mid-50's) Buick Doors. No idea if they are 2-door or 4-door, but they are just short of 45" in overall length. Any help or information would be great.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The 53 hardtop has that big piece of chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'd say those are Special 45R doors, almost certainly for '53 like Dave said...I just went out and measured the length of mine (which is a '53 Special 2 dr. hardtop), and they were just under 45 inches long. I know that '52s had a similar door and trim piece, but I don't know if it was identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) The vent windows are different Also the crease in the doors in question is straight, not slanted like the other picture. Looks like1950 - 53 doors for a special. Edited June 13, 2020 by Fleek more info (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Chevrolet Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've got a 53 Buick special sedan, the chrome looks different just below the window, but it has the straight crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Carolina, your car is not a hardtop. Here is a 52 Special hardtop. The chrome is right, the top of the vent window is squared, the crease is straight. Hardtops are different in several ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
