gullwing
Door hinged overhead
Gullwing describes a door or wing that opens upward from a central hinge, resembling a seagull's wings in flight.
The term appears most often with cars: a gullwing door pivots up from the roof rather than swinging out from the side.
The DeLorean and Mercedes 300SL are iconic gullwing cars.
The gullwing doors made it impossible to park in a low-ceilinged garage.
