<VV> CC Correction

[Frank DuVal]

Great model Mark!

It really does look like a Biscayne or Bel Air from the mid 60s.

I am in agreement with your definition of Sedan.

I have never heard someone call a full size Chevy in that body style a 
coupe. They are two door sedans. Or, two door post to some people.

Flame suit on!

Just because it has two doors does NOT make it a coupe. A LM coupe is the slim "C" pillar hardtop we are all familiar with, but my model has the wide "C" pillar and roof of the 4 door and, most importantly, a full-length, rocker to roof "B" pillar. THAT feature, and NOT the number of doors makes it a sedan.

They built the cheap Biscayne and Chevelle 300 2 door models with a full-length 4 door roofline and the "B" pillar extending to the roof, and called them in their sales catalog AND dealer album as "two door sedan" models. My model follows that formula in its body construction and bottom-line 500 model series, complete with dog dish hubcaps, bench seat, and radio delete plate.
