Hardtops



The hardtop styling came about because of the
convertible influence. People liked the idea of owning
a convertible but not the pitfalls of owning one. GM
then brought it out as a compromise and originally it
only came in a 2-dr. Later on for the family man a
4-dr Hdtp was introduced. But yeah, they all have one
thing in common that identifies a hardtop, no middle
pillar. The mandatory shoulder belts and safety
concerns killed the hdtp.
A sedan is generally a car designed to sit 3 adults
comfortably in the back whereas a coupe is a car for
only 2 adults. So you then have a hardtop coupe, 2-dr
sedan, etc.
And of course every one had their own spin on things.
For me the 2-dr hdtp is the nicest style for a car
after my AMX of course. Give me a hdtp coupe in the
summer with all the windows down, the wing windows
wide open and the vents open. Yeah baby.....Russ
