Thanks alot Frenz,that car is sweet! After this thread I dont think I'm gonna be chopping the coupe. Ah! I might have to buy a sedan too! Here we go!

 

coupes and sedans have the same decklid,,,the quarter windows ARE longer than a coupe...definitely a sedan with the roof moved forward..

 

that is a tudor sedan...my buddy Ray built that car and now it is up in Oxnard/Ventura area...great looking car!

 

hmm Coupe ?

 

WTF does that mean? Cuz if I aint lookin' at cars, I am usually lookin' at ass! So is that a good thing or a bad thing?.
BTW the car looks like a sedan cjhopped to me too. But I like it?....

 

on shoebox fords i was taught that a coupe has longer space between rear window and trunklid.

 

There were 2dr Sedans and 4dr Sedans....and neither one is a Coupe. The coupes were all 2drs, either club coupes with a pivoting quarter window or business coupes with fixed quarter windows. Then there were Victorias in '51, (2drs that started out as convertibles before the hardtop was added at the factory).

 

Somebody PM Skrap metal and find out for sure!

My bet's on Sedan, rear window moved forward and panel under rear window extended.

 

Thats a business coupe, look how the sheetmetal is longer between the trunk and the back glass, has to be a business coupe.

 

There are Three types of 2 doors. A 2 door Sedan, long side windows with wind wings. A 2 door coupe with small side windows and no wind wing. A 2 door business coupe with small side windows and no wind wings as well as no back sead or provisions to roll the rear side windows up or down.

 

Thats a 2 dr sedan. I just chopped mine 5 inches in front 5 and a half in the back. I cut it through the back glass and this moved the top forward 9 and a quarter inches forward. makes the trunk area look like a business coupe. I did away with the vent glass on the qtr glass and the door glass

 

Kustom7777, I hope you never have to put coupe deck lid on a 2dr. sedan. there will a lot of shortening to do.There is a large difference between the two.

Not sure but it is one of my all time favorites...I think the first time I saw that car was on that auction site....I forget the name...

 

hey fellas, yeah that was my car and yes it is a 2 door sedan with the roof moved
foward and a new catwalk constructed.

 

Thanks man, beautiful car so I guess if I'm gonna get the look I want I think I'm gonna have to get a sedan. Thanks again NICE CAR!

 

thanks for all the kind replies.

Very rare.

 

Dammit, shoulda bet money!
