DJ,
The writer is really off-base because there's no such thing as a
fuselage Imperial coupe, technically. Sure, a lot of people call any
two door model a coupe, but that's not right.
The body style section in an older edition of "Standard Catalog of
American Cars" indicates that a coupe has no rear seat area side windows
at all (like a business coupe) or has rear side windows but they don't
roll down. I think that Chevy Novas and Ford Mavericks were that way.
Also the Duster and Demon, but the rear side windows flip outward on
those cars.
Anyway, all the 69-75 2 door fuselage Imperials had rear side windows
that rolled down and no B-pillar. That makes them all 2 door hardtops.
I have the Cars of the Sixties book, but haven't sprung for the 70s one
yet.
