PRICELESS!!
Leave it to Mark to take "HUMOR" and go off on a discussion on what a sedan 
 versus coupe. I'm just disappointed that I was hooked into writing this. 
When  will I learn???

No,  Steven. You missed the point. ALL cars with a full-length
rocker-to-roof  "B" pillar are technically sedans (even though other terms
can also be  used). ALL cars without such a full-length pillar (and with a
fixed metal  roof) are hardtops. The point being is that the term "sedan" by
itself does  NOT designate the number of doors. You can therefore just as
easily have a  2door sedan as a 4door sedan. Just check any auto literature
from the '50's  or '60's, particularly the Dealer Albums.

Hence, there is no such thing  as a late model Corvair "sedan". Chevrolet
marketing DID add the word  "sport", which changes the meaning radically.
They used it to designate a  hardtop, but the two words MUST be used
together. Without the word "sport"  attached, the word "sedan" then reverts
to its traditional meaning (as  cited above.)

And in finding the correct part for one's car, correct  terminology is
critical. And THAT is a VERY big point. Just ask Hank, who  works for Steele
Rubber, about getting people to correctly identify their  car's body style.
