I know, Wikpedia, but at least it is a source.  Until someone sites  
another more credible source, this is what I will accept.

Types of sedan

Several versions of the body style exist, including four-door, two- 
door, and fastback models.

A sedan seats four or more people and has a fixed roof that is full- 
height up to the rear window. The roof structure will typically have  
a fixed "B" pillar on sedan models. Most commonly it is a four-door;  
two-door models are rare, but they do occur (more so historically).  
In the U.S., the term sedan has been used to denote a car with fixed  
window frames, as opposed to the hardtop style without a "B" pillar  
and where the sash, if any, winds down with the glass. However, true  
hardtops have become increasingly rare.
