    Hey can anyone help me identify these doors, I am looking for doors for my model A coupe. They measure 27.5 inches wide and have scroll like door handles. The other thing that is odd is the pass door has a lock cylinder hole. Thanks for any help. They also have wood inside the door across the bottoms.

    Most old cars only had an outside lock on the passenger side. Ettiquite of the day said you parked at the curb and locked the drivers door from the inside then slid across the seat and exited out the passenger door then locked it from outside with the key. Also when getting into the car you unlocked the passenger door and opened it for your companion and they reached across and unlocked the drivers door while you walked around the car.

    It was a different time and people had manners.

    30 - 31 Fordor front door as mentioned above.
    Look closer, there might be more wood in there than you realised :)
