Are Hollywood door hinges interchangeable with stepdown 4dr door hinges or Brougham door hinges?

    Hi Lee,

    Hollywood and Conv. are the same. Sedans and coupes,broughams will not work.
    Hope this helps.

    I'm helping a friend with his 52 Hollywood. Does anyone have a driver side upper door hinge for 52 Hollywood willing to part with? Much of the hinge is rusted away. Maybe about 1/3 the thickness it once was. Strange how the door is ok but the hinge is rusting away. I've never seen a hinge eaten away like that.

    Lee the sedan hinge will work, just has a smaller diameter pin. They are usually in better shape do to the door weighing less. But it is nice to knock the old pin out and ream to a larger .342 pin size as what was on the 2 door models

    Thank you Russmass. That is encouraging news. Should be no problem finding a hinge now.

    Originaly there was a small metal plate over the hinge & screws to make the door gasket seal better. Caused a lot of them to rust like that ,I have 3 parts cars here with the top hinge broke in halfe there. But we have a lot more rust issues in the midwest that other parts of the country.
