    Can anyone tell me what these doors may be off of? I was originally thinking early mopar sedan but I’m now unsure, the front upper and lower corners not being round isn’t right for that application. Thanks in advance for any info

    That's what I was thinking with the four hinges also.

    Also might be a sedan delivery rear door.

  6. Good guess, but since there's a pair, that is a clue probably indicating side doors. They look like they're from something big and grand, though. Limo/funeral car maybe?

  8. Interesting how the swageline goes up at the door handle and then back along the line of the where the roof edge would be. They do look big, you could almost kill yourself lifting those up , let alone trying to fit them :rolleyes:o_O

    I'd think a sedan delivery would have parallel sides -- and the same width on the sides of the glass.

    The 4dr sedan looks the same, but not as long as the 2dr brougham.

    They sure look like the two door to me. All the four doors I found pics of only had three hinges. How rare would a couple of those be? Pretty rare I’d say. So much so that there might not be anyone needing them. On the other hand, if someone did need them…..

    Hey @rustisgold
    Those doors are cool and unique.
    There has to be a very interesting back story, as to how they came to be in your possession!
    Seeing how you are located in Canada, were the doors discovered in Canada?
    Or did you find them in another location?
    Thanks for sharing the photos.
