    Yeah I remember those long doors, Eventually they sagged and you had to lift them up to close the door! If you opened the door from the inside while driving you were screwed until you stopped!

    ‌ Never owned a 2 door car myself. And I can't think of riding in one, where the front seat had to be folded down so you could get into the back seat, since I was in college. That was in 1975 to 1979. So we're talking 45 to 50 years ago.

    I am thinking of 2 cars that were a few of many 2 door cars and truck I owned. 1st was a 1967 Chrysler Newport. Very long doors and I could sleep comfortably in the back seat and I was 6' 2" then. 2nd was a 1975 Trans Am.

    ‌I had a 2 door 1970 Dodge Charger 500 with a 383 that got 7 mpg! Fast car but a gas guzzler for sure!

    Once on on a 4 mile blacktop going home I pegged the speedometer at 140 plus! I was a brain dead 18 year old at the time and am fortunate I lived through the Charger.
