Anyone know what model A would have had the door handle in the center of the door? Seen a lot of cars over the years and they are always up towards the front of the door. Never seen one directly below the door handle before. Looking at buying the car with said doors but can't figure out what they would have come off. Car is advertised as a Cabriolet. Suspect it is more likely a roadster or coupe made to look like a Cabriolet.

Will learn more when I see it up close tomorrow morning. Spotted the window crank position in the photos and just got be curious. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Chris

If you are talking about a round hole with 4 smaller square holes around it, it is a 1930-1931 coupe door. Nothing goes in those holes. The window mechanism mounts to the three countersunk holes further forward on each door.
