Not so new. Identical to the tailgate on my 74 Olds Custom Cruiser.

Didn't the Kaiser Darrin have doors that slid into the front fenders?

Must have confounded a lot of valets :)

Don't know if it was a Kaiser Darrin but saw a car with doors that disappeared into the fenders at the Great American Race last year. Really cool.

Yes it was.

Linky no worky.

iirc, can't think of a production car with such doors. :confused:

The Graham Cavalier must have been ahead of its time to have forward hinged doors in 1936/7.

Don't minivans do that?

Matt L 12-01-2007 09:05 PM
Not any that I've seen. They do open parallel to the body, but on the outside.

A Gullwing would accomplish the same thing, just can't park it too close to another car.

Think Britney could have used a dissappearing car door?

You have to admit, it is pretty slick looking.

Are they out of Detroit? I noticed the Fox theatre in the beginning.

A dissappearing act would be much better for her.

Don't gullwings take less space to open then a standard coupe door? I don't have the specs handy but that was the case on the DMC.

I think so, iirc. When in high school, a friend's Dad owned one. We took it out Friday nights on the cruise strip. Overheated a few times. :rolleyes:
