I would say 1925 coupe or Fordor front doors. The steel construction was '25 or late '24. prior to that they would have been wood framed. A smilar door was used on the '26 and '27 for the Fordor.
The windshield swing arm bracket shown on the front pillar is typical of '24 and '25.
I would love to have a bracket like that.

If you are wondering whether they are 26-7 coupe doors, then no.

The piece for the windshield with the little triangle on it is a rare piece any more.

They look very much like the ones on the '25 Coup I'm playing with. Mine have "BUDD" stamped in the centre just below the window.

The Ford body parts list has 18034A2X and 18033A2X for the LH and RH doors on the '24-'25 Coupe. No designation of wood or steel framed doors listed. It has 17450A3X and 17451A3X for the steel frame front RH and LH doors of the Fordor for 1924 and '25. Those same numbers are listed for the '26-'27 doors even though the inner stampings of the door look different. It may be they are still interchangeable (dimensionally the same). I see no obvious differences in the Coupe and Fordor doors I have. Even though the book gives them different numbers.
I'm always open to different views.

They look like 23-25 coupe or ford-or front doors. The Encyclopedia indicates that the fordor doors were aluminum but my 24 coupe are aluminum.
Bruce insisted my doors were not correct and had been replaced at some time. I could see one being changed after maybe an accident, but not both.
