Chris,
That's a new one on me. I've always heard any of the older busses with
two side doors referred to as barn doors, since they open just like an
old set of barn doors.

��the term "barndoor" only refers to the '50-'55 bus. they were
nicknamed "barn door buses" because the rear engine decklid was huge,
going all the way up to the rear window, and there was no rear hatch
going into the inside. chris
