There was a door design from the 1950's which had 3 window panes in the
upper corner that were shaped like "BELLS". I'm sure the actual design
differed somewhat from my drawing, but this gives you the basic idea:

I did this from memory AND it's been years since I've seen one. If
anybody has a photo OR knows where there's one of these doors, would
you mind taking a picture of it and emailing it to me? I have the
woodworking skills to replicate this design. All I need is a picture to
use as my template. My chances of finding one of those doors for sale
are ZERO, (I've been searching for a while) so my next best bet is to
custom build it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can remember that style but they weren't in the shape of bells, similar
but the sides were straight, sort of three triangles with all corners
rounded.

I remember the doors of this type, but the only place that I could think
of to find a picture, would be a museum, or library. Places in the
museum are the photo gallery, something like the life in the fifties
exhibit. In the library I would try the photograph section, or books on
photo graphs.
My wife goes to the museum to see painting by famous artist. I go to
study the the pictures of old ships, old furniture, and such.

Well... if you are confident that it will be so difficult to find one of
these doors to take a picture of, then hell - just go for it from how you
remember them to be. After all - how will anyone be able to prove your
design wrong? Besides, they were simply that - a design. Anything you come
up with from memory is going to be just as valid.
