This one is at a restoration shop, getting ready for a off frame restoration (which is easy, since the body's in pieces already!)

By Tony Bowker, Ramona, CA on Wednesday, July 04, 2018 - 09:48 pm:The doors on my 1924 Coupe are aluminum. Of that there is no question.
Bruce told me they can’t be, as aluminum doors were only used on the fordors. So either Bruce was wrong (can’t be that) or the coupe and fordors are identical and both doors on my coupe have been replace at some time (again quite unlikely). One maybe, but both????
So you tell me......
