I hope I didnt f this up... Ordered a headliner for our 69 Dart 340 Swinger. Took 4 weeks to get it. The website said it was for a 67-72 Dart COUPE. It was the only option available. It didnt say SEDAN, so my logic said it was correct. It is a PUI Interiors part number AH750100. I checked their website, and they dont say hardtop vs sedan vs coupe. So the real question is... what the heck is a coupe?
Hardtop needs no explanation. Sedan is without a doubt a four door. Coupe could very well be a two door post.
ARG!! Conflicting information. The headliner I got have separate sail panels. I thought the headliner would install over the sail panel boards. Instead, what I received with the headliner is boards with material glued to them. I had purchased a set of boards from DMT and they are identical to the ones that have the material on them. Which is a lot to say... I still dont know if I got what I needed.
I think you are OK, if you trust wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Dart The shape of the sail panels will tell tale.
A Coupe is a post car... also known as a Sedan but that generally refers to a 4 door. Hardtop has no B pillar..
Chrysler only had hardtops, sedans, and convertibles, there was NEVER a "coupe" in the muscle car era...
Not trying to start a holy war here guys This headliner I received is HUGE. Probably twice as long as it needs to be. The sail panels that came with it are covered. All the pictures I have seen of hardtop headliners show the headliner going over the sail panel, not the sail panel having separate material. I am really hoping coupe = hardtop. I sent an email the PUI looking for guidance.
Coupes are like hardtops but with a fixed quarter glass. Sedans have a frame around the door glass and yes there are 2 door sedans such as the 67-70 Valiant. Coupe and hardtop will use the same headliner.
Notchback is what Ford called their non-fastback Mustang. Or at least Mustang fans started calling them that. No Barracuda should ever be called a notchback. Plymouth called its non-fastback hardtop a "hardtop coupe." And the Road Runner a "2-door coupe." This is direct from the 1968 factory dealer brochures. And would you believe the 68 Barracuda convertible was referred to as a "convertible coupe"? Fact is, the word "coupe" does not have an established definition, and over the years has been applied in a variety of ways to a variety of body styles. But probably most often to 2-door sedans.
