In many of the posts I read, I keep seeing cars referred to as "post". So I searched the site an haven't come across a thread that explains it. I'm sure it's probably self explanatory, but this girl doesn't get it. What does it mean?
The doors have a frame around the window,making a "post" between front & rear windows.Heres mine,note the chrome"post" between front & rear. http://www.v8buick.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=166666&d=1272764701
Denise, The way it was explained to me is that on a 2 door car if the door has a window frame or if there is a solid divider between the door glass and passenger glass it is a post. Not sure if this is correct but that was what I was told.
There would be a post between the front window and the rear window and the window would be enclosed, not like the ht or convert models. Most all new cars a post type cars. or 2 or 4 dr sedans.
Easiest to show in pictures here's a 72 post car Notice the post between the front and rear passenger glass When the door is open, there would be a metal frame around the glass Compare to a hardtop with no post when the front and rear windows are down, there is no post Even a 4 door car can be a hardtop
I can't believe it's that simple. I wouldn't know that cause I have convertibles. I thought it had something to do with not being original. Post, as in "after" being original. Thanks for the explanation, and yes pictures are worth 1000 words.
Well, it's easy to get confused on what's what... For 1966, Buick described the two styles as 'Coupe' or 'Sport Coupe'. That's not very descriptive. o No: The Coupe was the 'post' style. Generally referred to as a sedan. The Sport Coupe is generally referred to as a Hardtop.... The 'Hard' top doesn't need the extra post for support.
