A local guy has these doors and has no idea what car they came from...the vent windows are wider at the top than the bottom which is somewhat rare. Any ideas?

Look up 57 Edsel or Chrysler they look like they went to a big wrap around windshield which were popular then.

The Edsel looks to be very close...the only sedan (post-style) doors I can find are on wagons like this:

That door looks suspicously like it could be off a late fifties, early sixties Rambler American four door. Windshield post slant would be about right I think.

Very possible.......or maybe some other "orphan" make. Not Ford or Gm, maybe Mopar.
Whatever they fit, it had a pretty high roof line. Note how tall the windows are...

This 55 Buick is looking pretty close...?





Here's a 54...


Oldsmobile appears to have used the same door, too.
