In 1971 in Virgina, I drove my Suburban for at least 6 months without a driver's-side door. I had a broken window and I had no money and even less common sense. The truck could not pass inspection with a broken window but it could pass the bi-annual inspection with no door. I got a junk-yard door before winter.
I think I remember this correctly but it is possible that my memory of events in the late-60s/early-70s is blurred for
for reasons that I would prefer to leave unstated.
