Coupe or Fastback

I've heard a few talking about this before. So what do you guys think? Is the Maverick a Coupe or Fastback?

I would have to say Fastback.

 

Judging from the sheer number of people who ask me, and my rear-view mirror vantage. It's a fastback. :]

 

I would...

say coupe since it is technically a passenger car.

 

Definately a fastback. I was very unpleasently surprised the first time I ever looked out my rearview mirror. I've gotten used to it now though.

 

A Maverick is not a coupe, it's a sedan (all of them). It does have a fastback appearance to it as well, with the way the back window angles into the rear deck...

 

Check out NADA...they'll confuse you even a little more. It's listed as a 2 or 4 door sedan unless it's a Grabber, then it's a 2 door coupe.

Of course that was for 74. I checked a 71 Grabber and it's a sedan ...but check out the latest NADA value on a 71 Grabber. Guys, the values of our cars are getting on up there!!! If you have a good one, better hang on to it.

wow! thats a huge jump up over years past

 

My .... I consider a "Fast-Coupe" ......... Hotrod-Daddy

 

i have an newspaper article were they consider it a "fastback" but on one of the DMV paper it says "sports sedan" all i say is :


"take a look over your shoulders"

 

Ford calls it a sedan so I'll go aslong with that.

 

You're exactly right Dennis but I don't agree with them on it. I would consider the 4-door a sedan but going by body styles on all other cars, the 2-door car should be called a coupe (or a fastback), of course that's my opinion. Sedan just sounds like a family car, which would fit a 4-door style much more than a 2-door. I think I'll call my contacts at Ford and have them change it. Only thing is the owner of our dealership is as high as I know...wonder if he can do it on his own?:confused:

 

Never pay attention to those, the one for my Mach 1 I think it says it's a 4 door wagon. :16suspect

 

I agree.

I have always been told a Sedan was a 4-door, a Coupe is a 2-door, and a Fastback is a 2-door with the back at a paticular angle.

 

Back in the 50's and 60's the sedans were the cars with a post between the frond & back side windows. If it didnt have a post, it was a hard top.
