    Abstract: A novel single axis automobile door hinge allows the door to open and close through an arc oriented at an oblique angle to the horizontal and vertical. A single hinge is utilized for each door. The hinge fits within existing vacant space forward of the door and between the chassis and fender such that little if any removal of original equipment manufactured body or parts is called for during installation, other than usually simple unbolting of the manufacturer-supplied traditional vertical axis door hinges. Often the novel hinge can be installed by bolting directly to the existing door hinge bolt holes.
