I'm trying to help a friend clear out a garage. There is a set of 4 doors that we can't identify. Someone suggested that they might be from a 1940 Ford. I'd appreciate your expert opinions about what they came from.Thank you.

Look for bug marks on the glass . It should be a date and manufacturers mark.

1940 Ford fordor sedan. As has been mentioned, the front doors can be modified to use on a coupe.

Look on the glass for a Mfg. bug original glass will have a black edge and Ford script including the date.

Thank you all for your help. I should have known to look for the bug, but it never dawned on me. But I wasn't sure they were Ford parts either. I am a truck guy. They will be available sometime soon. Steve

Steve, if the glass is original FoMoCo there should be "bugs" as already mentioned in two posts. From what I can see in your pics, they look to be in good condition with the front doors probably being the the most valuable of the four.
