I really know how to have a good time. Its Saturday night and I am Sat in on my own drinking beer and reading Peter Sessler's "Dodge and Plymouth Red Book".

Find myself wondering what are the defining differences between:


hardtop coupe
sport coupe
hardtop gran coupe
coupe

I know someone on here knows the answers

ummmmmm they are all diffrent body styles

yep, but what is the difference between a hardtop and a coupe? and a sprts hardtop and a hardtop....etc?

i got that book toooooo

sorry mate i actually cant answer that but im sure one of the anoraks on here will do shortly

nick:
for b bodys

coupe has pop out rear quarters
hardtop is a pillarless coupe with wind down rear windows

dont know on the other models

As in a B post?
Thing is my charger's a 2 door hardtop, it has no B post and the windows aren't fixed.

[quote="limeycharger"]As in a B post?

Dunno about all these pillarless jobbies but a Coupe has a nice solid B post..

its a coupe that has a b post and a hardtop that hasn't
I suspect the others are something to do with trim options...

So, to recap.....

hardtop coupe - strange misnomer peculiar to early Barracudas
coupe - B Pillared design
hardtop - Pillarless
sport coupe - B Pillared design, probably with sport trim, etc.
hardtop gran coupe - poncy name for another hardtop!

Oh well, I can sleep easy now..

Thanks

It is easy when you remember a hardtop is a hard version of a convertible. Hence the name. So no B-pillar.
