"It appealed especially to young families, seating for 4 or 5 at less cost than a sedan and without the concern of the kiddies and the back door."

Dave, Your comment brought back the memory of my then 4 year old sister falling out through the rear driver side "suicide" door of my grandfather's 1939 Pontiac back in the early 1950's. The car was travelling slowly over a set of railway tracks and the door swung open sending my sister out onto the road. Luckily for all concerned no cars we coming in the opposite direction or following close and she had only a few bruises as a result. The car was shortly traded in for a 1949 2 door Plymouth.
