wagons and 4 doors

Hi gang.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the rear doors on a Vista Cruiser are the same as those on a typical 4 door car of the same year? 1965 in particular. That would make 4 door donor cars a lot more useful.

Thanks!

On a '68 & '69 Vista the rear doors are about four inches longer (121 inch wheelbase), but the front doors will interchange...

65 is also longer and will not interchange with cars.
Vista and Buick Sport wagons could have a 3rd seat. The seat faces to the front. The passengers feet go behind the second seat, that is why these wagons had a longer wheelbase. The shorter f85 and Special wagons did not offer a 3rd seat.

Thought so...

Thanks for the input. In pictures the doors look longer but I needed to be sure.
