Gentlemen:
In the true sense of the
word, the term "suicide doors" refers to the fact that ALL doors were
hinged at the back (they latch at the front). Most cars were rid of the
true four suicide doors in the early 1930s. However, most manufacturers
CHANGED the front doors to hinge at the front (latch at the rear) while keeping
the rear doors hinged at the rear (latching at the front, or on the
"B" pillar). This is the case of all 1937 Chryslers, be they
model C 14,15,16 or 17. Try looking in the standard catalogue of Chrysler;
they even have pictures with the doors open. Thank you,
ne
