Don't know for sure, but the two sure do APPEAR to be pretty-much the same! Coop

They are NOT the same but are close. The Victoria door is shorter. I have sold several 32 2 door garnish moldings to be cut down to fit a Victoria. The 2 door garnish moldings can be made to fit any of the other closed car doors as they are the tallest (except 3 w). I still have 1 set that is only missing a rear quarter, and 1 single passenger side door. I have no idea why so many Victorias are missing garnish moldings.

The '32 convertible sedan (B-400) and Victoria use the same doors. Those for the Tudor sedan are unique to that body type.

Several years ago I pieced together a deuce Vicky using a 4 door cowl and drip rails, 2 dr doors and a Vicky back section. The metal shop I had do the job did such a good job nobody ever figured it out until I told the then current owner what was what. He was furious as he was advertising it as a gennie bodied Vicky

IIRC, the victoria doors are the same width as the tudor on the exterior, however the interior width is different (on the order of 1/2" to 1"). The face of the door jamb and outside door handle location is also different to match. The overall height is different (about 1-1/2") with the height of the section above the window is also different (victoria 1/4" to 1/2" taller) with a different arch. This is memories from 20 years ago so measurements could be off and which body is taller/shorter/longer could be switched.
