Title: 1959 Coupe DeVille Door Length
Post by: toomeycustoms on December 26, 2007, 05:37:36 PM
We are starting on a custom project converting a 1959 sedan deville into a coupe and need to know the length of the coupes doors. Does anyone have this info? Also, were the sedans overall body length longer than the coupes? Could also use any info/contacts for parts/trim in So. Cal area.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

At the position where the side stainless molding would be mounted the door is about 48 3/8" long.

All passenger car bodies except series 75 are 225" overall length.
