"Post coupe" is usually what I hear, and have said myself coupe for cars with a post for years. Windows pop out. RM21
Hardtop has no pillar, roll down windows. RM23 Have seen/heard it called pillarless hardtop.

It depends on the manufaturer, but I have always thought a sedan and a post car were the same thing, and a hardtop and a coupe were the same!

Post = sedan roll all the windows sown and you can sweep your arm from the windshield to the rear roof post = hardtop. The problem is that the automakers built different cars over the years, so the rules got blurred. In your specific case (1969 B body), the VIN will tell you what you have and will be easier to pass along to year one for ordering.

Growing up as a kid (I'm old) a 2 door with no post was a hardtop, 2 door with a post a coupe, 4 door with a post a sedan. 4 doors without a post was cool. Most everyone I know goes by this too.
I agree with this. Also the 4 door without a post can obviously be called a hardtop, or a "4 door hardtop" An example would be a Buick Electra 225.
Only problem is that there is no "2 door sedan" in the above definition, which many people would say in a post car, if the rear 1/4 windows roll down its a sedan, if they don't (or they just pop out) like a Volare/Aspen its a coupe, but thats kind of a fine distinction.

Not correct.... A hardtop has no B-Pillar. A Coupe has a B-Pillar (post).
The line between a 2-dr sedan (post) and a coupe gets blurry, I tend to differetiate between posts & coupes as: A coupe has almost no rear window (E body cudas & Challengers are coupes), while a post has a roll down or pop out, larger rear window (roadrunner)
One things for sure, there is no hard fast rule with coupes vs. posts vs. 2-dr Sedans. These are all basically the same.
