Where it comes from

1863 (US, applied to “railway car”).

noun car doors · car-door · cardoor

A door designed for use on a car (whether a railway carriage or an automobile). We found Jeru to be a pleasant city; with only one fault: the inhabitants will crowd into a car before passengers can get out; consequently the heads of the two columns collide near the car-door, and there is a general choke.
