My son found this door in the river by our house. He braved the crawdads to fish it out! Anybody have a guess as to it's origin? I think it would be too small for a pickup.

well shucks, the first thing that my eyes saw were the cozy wings and the door handle , there should be a serial number of sorts on the door

No sign of any plates or numbers on the door. My guess is that would be on the driver door if they were anything like modern cars back then.
There does appear to be some plastic pieces on the inside that would have held an interior panel on.

Looks like a VW Rabbit door.
This based on the vent window and the door handle shape.

I think the body lines are wrong for a rabbit. It looks like the door from a notchback or squareback from the 60s... I'd post a picture if my stupid phone would cooperate.... :mad:

First thing I thought of was a Ford Courier. They were a little before my time but I remember seeing them a few times.

Looks VW, though not Rabbit/Golf Mk 1, as they are much flatter. This looks like a front door from a 4-door VW Type 3.
