<VV> Volume WAS difference between a sedan and a coupe

[Kenneth E Pepke]

Ok, I am out of work so I do not have access to the SAE library
to look this up.  Still, I am quite sure it is the volume behind the 
front seats to which the SAE specification refers.   

I do not have a Corvair to measure and I have no written
information but, A little arithmetic tells me a 3x3x3 foot cube is 
27 cubic feet.  That is the length in any direction, of a common 
yard stick.  Less than 1 foot added to any one of those 
dimensions make 33 cubic feet.  Now imagine how tight it 
would be with two people sitting within those dimensions.  
Corvair 2 door cars are tight but not that tight.  It might be kind
of close but, they are all sedans; EM with pillars and LM without 
and that also includes convertibles EM and LM.

The number of doors has nothing to do with it.  Still, there are
no 4 door coupes.  Sedans could be either 2 or 4, or more,
doors.
