The hinges are in good shape. I've owned the car (1929 coupe) since 1963 and have never taken the doors off. I did take the body off to have it painted and had to adjust the rubber shims when it was put back on. I can feel the door move in and out slightly driving down the road. The passenger door does not squeak.

You should be able to adjust the door latch in or out with two screws. If the door is moving out, adjust it so door is tighter to body. If latch is worn, they sell reproductions. Unless frame/body is bent adjusting door should not be hard.
Latch, and two rubber shims. If hinges are good, that’s really all you have. Keep us informed on how it goes. Enjoy.
