69 sedan

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

That means that the B pillar does not extend all the way to the roof.

It was stated that a hardtop does not have a B pillar.  That is a bit confusing.
 The B-pillar exists even on the hardtop, that's where the rear door hinges
bolt on, and that's where the front door latches on.  However, the B-pillar
does not extend all the way to the roof, for styling reasons.  Obviously, some
compromize in the car structure takes place, but its not as bad as a
convertible, and also our Imperials have very strong structures, so a small
compromize may be OK.

D^2, 68 Sedan, uncompromized structure, and 68 LeBaron hardop compromized
structure :)
