I would like to know the width of a 1934 3 window door at the belt line verses a cabriolet door. Are there any differences in width. I own a 1934 huppmobile model w417, from research the body is a cabriolet with a 3 window roof welded on it, i have no doors what would work the best for a replacement, can the car be fitted with 3 window coupe doors as cabriolet doors are really hard to find, any answers out there, thanks for the reply

I don't have a 3w or a 2d door to measure but the pic is a 34 cabriolet and as you can see it is just a tic over 36" measured under the belt line . Doors off a 3w or 2d for that matter are the " long " doors . Doors off a 5w or 4d are " short "and cabriolets are in between . Another issue is the cabriolet doors are " fatter " and have 3 hinges on the lower part . Cab only on that . I can take pics of whatever angle you need on cab , 5w or 4d doors . Well roadster also but that is a completely different bird there .

Hard to say what you have going on without pics . On the reproduction door question Steves Auto Restorations [ SAR ]in WA was making outer skins and top repair panels for 33-34 cabriolets . The main framework is unique to a cabriolet so that will be a problem also . Hinges are also different . Again pics would go a long way in figuring out what you need .
