    little more research...in 35, Chevy called the 2 door sedan a "coach", and the 4 door was called "sedan".

    Coach is what those were called back in the early stock car days, especially in the Northeast. I shudder to think how many went to the great graveyard in the sky after being raced on those dirt tracks!

    A Sedan is a four door while a Coach is a two door with a back seat. Now let’s not talk about Victoria’s...

    Thanks, Dave! I didn't have a racer, but I did have the hair once upon a time. Here's a Coach and it just happens to be a '36 Chevy. Mouseys 3K.jpg

    Nice! I bet that thing belched flames from those headers. Where was that picture taken?

    Let's straighten this out ....
    When Chevrolet (Fisher) began building bodies with built-in trunks, the 2 door is called "Town Sedan", 4 door is "Sport Sedan".
    The 2 door with rear mounted spare is the "Coach", 4 door is "Sedan".
    A late '30s Coach is a very scarce auto ....
