Suicide Doors! I can see it already. People will be leaping out of cars in droves and the lawsuits will certainly put Ford out of business.:shake:

Besides chopping my door handles, that's another thing the folks at C&M offered to me.:help:
I didn't EVEN ask the price for this mod.
EDIT: I'll get a quote for shats and grins tomorrow.:nono:

There are many vehicles on the road today with suicide-like doors. The Mazda RX8, certain Saturns, and every super cab (not crew cab) pickup truck come to mind. You must open the front doors before the rear doors can be opened.

I would support a Todd movement! :up:
I have seen suicide doors on an Impala SS, and it didn't look too bad except the guy went crazy with the black dye on his interior.

Those are not considered :nono: Suicide doors, by having the front doors open up like the back doors of the, "lets say RX8", those are considered suicide doors. :shot:

I love suicide doors! My dad had an old Lincoln convertible 4 door with suicide doors. I love the stories about how the doors all fly open when going over a rail road crossing.I wish he didn't sell that baby before I was born :(

I would say no only because it would take something away from the Natural look of it. But one other thing , I think it would be cool if they made a 2 door convertable.

I had a 66 Lincoln sedan about thirty years ago. It had rear "suicide doors" They had the same latch as most cars still have today, they could not open because of road conditions anymore than the front doors could. The power door locks automatically locked the doors when the car was moving and just like our modern cars the rear doors had to be un-locked before the doors would open. The only thing that would be better looking than suicide doors would be a two door body type.
