Default 1932 suicide doors?

Was the 32 three window coupe the only one with suicide doors?

Those English Fords are interesting to look at, but I think the USA built bodies have more pleasing lines.

The rear doors on my 1935 Model 48 Fordor has them... and if I am correct... the front doors on the 1934 Sedans also were.

Do the rear doors on a 4 door sedan or phaetons count?

The question is vague at best...AND given the "GIVENS" are not specified


American
32 Three Window Coupe, Phaeton (Rears only), Woody (rears only)
33-34 Roadsters, Cabriolets, 3 Window Coupe, 5 Window Coupe, Tudor, Fordor (ALL), Phaeton (Fronts only), Woody (ALL), Sedan Delivery, Victoria
35,36,37,38 std, 38Dlx, 39 Std, 39 Dlx, 39 Mercury, 40 Mercury, 40 Mercury Convertible Sedan, 41 Ford & Mercury, 42-48 Ford & Mercury, 49-51 Mercury Fordoor (Rears only)
35-39 Woody (Rears only)

ALSO I am sure many Lincoln products within the same time frame.


AS well as what DavidG posted above for 1932 in England as well as many "customs" throughout Europe within the same time frame.



NOT to mention the 60's & 70's T-Birds, Lincoln 4 Door and 4 Door Convertibles (Rears ONLY).


A good stab at it anyway!!!! Lol
