List of Cars With Non-standard Door Designs

This is a list of cars with non-standard door designs, sorted by door type. These car models use passenger door designs other than the standard design, which is hinged at the front edge of the door, and swings away from the car horizontally and towards the front of the car. Many cars have door designs which give them a unique look, or which affect their practicality one way or another.

The main types of non-standard door designs are:

  • Butterfly - hinged at the top of the door; open up and outward.
  • Canopy - roof & sides are one unit hinged at the front (usually); entire assembly opens vertically.
  • Coach (suicide) - hinged on the back end of the doorframe; open horizontally toward the rear.
  • Gullwing - hinged to the roof at the top of the door; open upward.
  • Scissors - hinged at the top front corner of the door; open by rotating vertically upwards.
  • Sliding - mounted or suspended from a track; open by sliding horizontally alongside or into the vehicle sidewall.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, cars, door and/or designs:

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    For I could not read or speak and on the long nights I could not turn the moon off or count the lights of cars across the ceiling.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the lovliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
