Went to look at some "Model T Doors".... What are they?

Post by schwabd1 » Sun Jan 30, 2022 12:01 pm

I bought a few things from a young man at a swap meet that was selling some things from his deceased grandfather's barn that was about to collapse. He said he had some rust free, dent free model t doors he wanted to sell and wondered if I knew anybody that needed some. I didn't need them, but thought I could get some pics and post them here if someone could use them. Well, they are rust and dent free, but not T. I told him there were a lot of amazing people on this site and someone might know what they belong to. Any guesses. Unfortunately he didn't have anything around to measure them with, but they're good sized doors.

It looks like general motors to me. They made a lot of wood framed cars. This is a 1928 Chevrolet. They made many and it looks close to me.

They do look like the Chevy doors. From the length front to back, 'd guess they are for a 2 door sedan, or "coach".

Yeah your right about that A Whitman! The common thinking is if it’s old car related and black it’s got to be Model T.
Well at least the legacy of Model T’s is still with us. You can’t say that about most or any antique car that is still around in some ways. ;)
