<VV> CC Correction

[airvair]

Dear Editors,

A correction in the September '13 CC concerning the results of the model car competition. My entry that came in third in the Modified class is NOT a coupe but a sedan, and I had it labeled as such. Just because it has two doors does NOT make it a coupe. A LM coupe is the slim "C" pillar hardtop we are all familiar with, but my model has the wide "C" pillar and roof of the 4 door and, most importantly, a full-length, rocker to roof "B" pillar. THAT feature, and NOT the number of doors makes it a sedan.

The model is a plain jane stripper 500 two-door sedan, and represents what Chevrolet might have done had they followed the same formula with the full-size and Chevelle lines. They built the cheap Biscayne and Chevelle 300 2 door models with a full-length 4 door roofline and the "B" pillar extending to the roof, and called them in their sales catalog AND dealer album as "two door sedan" models. My model follows that formula in its body construction and bottom-line 500 model series, complete with dog dish hubcaps, bench seat, and radio delete plate.

Attached are pictures of it.
