A few years back I found a stash of old negatives that show the Great American Mountain Rally and have lately been developing some into photos, so I have been looking at a lot of 50's sports cars. It got me thinking about shortened doors on channeled hot rods and I would love to start a collection of images of old hot rods with shortened doors (vertically. Some may say sectioned doors, but I am sure the bottoms were just cut off and not actually sectioned). What's everyone holding? Here is an example of what I am talking about. And a few samples of what I figure influenced the trend.
For those interested, here are a few pics of the rally photos I am developing. It was run in 1955 in New York, Connecticut, Vermont, and Massachusetts. And to steer it back to more topical vehicles:
