    Doors- 1951 Champion coupes

    Hi all-

    Are the doors the same on a Starlight coupe and the standard 2 door coupe?

        As well as a Business Coupe.

            All 47-52 Studebaker cars with only two doors (two door sedan, three passenger coupe, five passenger/starlight coupe) take the same doors.

            Likewise, the four door cars take the same doors from 47-52.

              I think rear doors are different on Y-bodies, Roy.

                Hardtops and convertibles are 2 doors as well! These doors might be the same skin, but quite different in the window area.

                  You are correct. I missed that example.

                    That is true also. Convertibles and hardtops share the same door.

                    It's good that you guys are paying attention.

                      I thought that is what he was asking about. ("Are the doors the same on a Starlight coupe and the standard 2 door coupe?")
                      A 3 passenger coupe (business coupe) is the only other "coupe" besides the five passenger coupe (Starlight).

                          Hi Roy-
                          I met a guy whos making a convertable street rod out of a 2 door coupe. So, I'm purchasing all of the door glass and hardware from him.

                            Another tidbit regarding these Studes of this era. Deck lids - one lid fits only C & Q bodies. Another lid fits all others - including convertibles!
