If you Google "1959 Porsche GT coupe", several pics will be shown of them with vent windows.

I think the GT cars had aluminum doors.

Jim B,
Here's a better picture of the 59AGT.
I owned that car for 47 years.
106297
There were 14 built in 59 and the doors were aluminum.
The frames were chromed brass as in production cars.
Cabs and D's did not have frames around the main glass.Image

Tom,
As far as I know, the 57's had steel doors and lids the 58-59 GT's had aluminum doors and lids as did 60-61 GT's.

I have a 6/59 steel door with vent window.

It must have been for a very late 356A or a very early 356B.

For sure, somewhere out there a coupe is missing its right door.
