Jim, that is not correct.  The Sport Q uses the same doors as the
two-door sedan 4000.  It has the same (more upright) front windshield
as the 4000 sedans.  The four door 4000s have a shorter front door.
The Coupe doors have a more-slanted windshield and A pillar, so their
doors are shaped to match.

When auto columnist John Matras crashed one of Frank Beddor's Sport Qs
several years ago, the point of impact was on the door.  The Beddors
replaced it with one from a two-door 4000, and commented that they
were lucky it wasn't anywhere else on the car, because all the other
panels are kevlar; ultra expensive and virtually unobtanium.

BTW, No Sport Qs ever had vent windows.
