69 sedan

["Johnson, Glen" <GJohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A 4 door Sedan has a pillar from the floor to the roof, between the front and 
rear doors.  A two door Sedan has a pillar between the front door and the rear 
side window.  The pillar is called a 'B' pillar.  The 'A' pillar is the 
windshield corner and the 'C' pillar is the rear roof corner.
A hardtop, either 2 or 4 door, does not have a 'B' pillar.  When the windows 
are down, it's air from 'A' to 'C'.
Hope that clears it up.
Glen Johnson 
1965 LeBaron

Good morning again, everyone:

OK.  I cannot get this straight in my head (and my father-in-law who was in the 
body shop business tried to explain this to me several times), how can one tell 
the difference between a hardtop and a sedan?

If I have it in writing I won't have to rely on my feeble memory.  :-)
