Hi Cyrus,
There are several photos of CP Angus Shops vans with the storm doors wide open in the post to my blog, Trackside Treasure, link follows. In the post, I mention that it was rare to spot a van with the storm doors closed, though this likely changed in wintertime.
IME with old style wooden vans, mostly in the 60's on CP, storm doors
were usually closed. But this was in the winter months. In cases of
extreme temperature swings, when it heated up quite quickly indoors, we
kept them open.
These storm doors were replaced annually with full height screen doors
for summer use and the screen doors too usually remained closed, in
often futile efforts to keep flies and mosquitoes out. They were
replaced with storm doors annually, in time for every winter.
