You can call them whatever you want -- it won't change what they are --
Corvairs!
The classic, mentioned here for American reference, is the 1957
Chevrolet. Availalbe in the same model year as as a 2-door and 4-door
hardtop, and as a 2-door and 4-door sedan. In today's market, the two
door Bel Aire's are untouchable pricewise, while you can still find the
2-door posts (the 210 model) setting around rusting in folks driveways
on main hiways, although folks are starting to build a few of these
210's because there aren't any more Bel Air's left to build, or some kid
had a 210 in high school and wants to build that very car into his dream
of forty years ago.
Does it make a difference if the door's window has an upper frame, or not?
Really, what is a Coupe? I suppose we could follow the
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Automotive_Engineers>Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) where they distinguishe a coupé from a sedan
primarily by interior volume <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume>; SAE
standard J1100 defines a coupé as a fixed-roof automobile with less than
33 cubic feet, courtesy of some Wikkipedia poster. What do they know?
Is that Coupe de Ville really a Sedan?
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_foot>
What is a 1940 Mercury 2-door Coupe Sedan?
A Sedanette?
Is a Saloon where the British go to drink and talk about what is a Sedan?
Wanna read more -- everyone talks about this stuff -- is it a
convertible, a cabriolet, or a drop head coupe?
