Not to be picky, but I think that the airplane is actually a F7F. It came along too late to see action in WWII . But I've always liked it.
Question: Chevrolet called the tri-five body styles: coupe (2 door WITH post) sport coupe (2 door NO post) sedan (4 door WITH post) and sport sedan (4 door NO post). So what designation was given by other makes (GMs other lines, FoMoCo, Mopar and other Co.s ) to differentiate hardtop from post?? 1 more car I promise, Rex Winter Dry n windy Lubbock TX
