Re: Which year 1500?

Sorry Nolan but you are wrong.  The doors were original equipment on this 
Belgium Assembled car.  I don't know where you got your information but my
experience shows that it is incorrect.

There may have been a larger bar put into the doors, but there was a side 
impact bar none the less.  One of the doors is currently on Tiny Tim (sans
the side-impact bar which was a bear to remove) and the other went to Brad 
Kahler's nephew (or some relative) for a car he was restoring.  Both had
the bars and both were original to the car as evidenced by the paint inside and 
out.
