Diff between a coupe and sedan?

[Coughlin]

I picked up a 68 RoadRunner the other day and the Vin is RH21H... Whats the Diff between a RM21 sedan and a RM23 coupe RoadRunner?

21 is a post car 23 is not. Pillar post that is on the rear side windows

 

[tpodwdog]

i believe a SEDAN has 4 doors...a COUPE...has 2 doors and the rear windows dont go down....a HARDTOP...they roll down

RM 23...roll down back windows.
RM 21...pop out back windows.

RH ???? ....not sure what that is unless its a typo

Never heard of a Road Runner with pop-out windowes that's got an 'H' for a 2nd digit. 'H' stands for High and a pop-out window car is anything but a high price car. Are you sure it's not 'M'?

if its RH its a satellite Road Runners start with RM

 

[Coughlin]

It was a typo it's RM21H8G203xxx

My brothers 70 RR has the pop out rear windows. It's also a 440+6 car. Real V code.

It's not the H or M it's the 21 or 23 that makes the difference between a coupe or hardtop. And I have a 2 door sedan 66 Belvedere....but most call them a 2dr post.

Ok thanks for the pics... I have a post car... Also it had the decals Plymouth put in the glovebox for the new owner to apply the 3 black and white birds... Is it common to find that? When I seen it I figured it was a repro set but it's def vintage decals...

Here is the REAL story for Mopars.

Sedans, 2 door or 4 door have the same boxey roof line. They both have a frame around the door(s) window. Look at the pre-68 cars and you will see what I am talking about. They also share the same windshield and rear glass.

Coupes, Have no frame around the door window. The 68-70 coupes share the same roof line as the 2 door hardtops. They also share the same windshield and rear glass.

Posts, They BOTH have a post between the front door and the rear window.

Both are referred to as POST cars but there is the differences I have stated above between a coupe and a sedan.

The short explaination is a post has a hardtop roof line and a sedan shares the roof line with a 4 door.

The previous owner might have bought them years ago thinking he was going to paint the RR sometime down the road.

Would this be considered a post car?

Lol

1st is sedan or post car second is hard top...pretty easy to see on the 66-67's

Sorry if this has already been covered... A Sedan has a frame around the window on the doors & B-Piller posts, a B-Body RR {RM21}, Sat., Belvedere or Post Coupe has the B-Piller posts, pop out rear windows, no frame around the door windows, a Hard Top RR {RM23} & others has no B-Piller posts or frame around the windows & both front door & rear windows roll up & down...

 

[Cranky]

What is a Duster considered as? If I'm not mistaken, it's also a coupe and so are the E bodies with fixed quarter windows....

 

[bluefury]

coupe/sedan.....?

I realize you must be referring to Mopars.... coupe/sedan.... In which case the coupe has pop out rear windows and a "B" pillar...and a sedan (both 2 and 4 doors) have frames around the door glass.

The industry description of a coupe usually means a vehicle with little or no passenger or cargo area behind the front seat, generally concidered a two or three passenger.

A sedan is larger with a rear passenger seat and frames around the door glass, both two and four door models.:argue:

An A-Body & a Challenger or Barracuda...LOL..... 2 door Hard Tops if there is no frame around the door windows & a Coupe if there is a B-Piller Post
