I am trying to find definitions or descriptions for the different body codes. The reason I am curious is because of the difference between what I thought was a Hardtop and Sedan. The code info that I have found shows the code 18 as “2-Dr. Hardtop - Falcon Futura (optional bucket seats or Sprint package“ and code 19 as “2-Dr. Sedan - Falcon Futura (optional bucket seats on early production models”. From what you can tell by looking at the actual cars they both look like “Hardtops” or if the windows are rolled down there is no post.

Can anyone explain?

Thanks, Ric.

This post was made based on pictures of a car I was interested in buying. This Saturday I had a chance to view the car up close, which is another whole topic :mad:. The pictures presented in the add showed a view that look as if the windows were down and had the absence of a post. As it turned out, the car had what is refered to as a T-Bird top which adds chrome trim to the post and rear window area.

Any-who, this car has a body code of 19 which is a "Sedan" and the car I viewed was a Sedan. Mistery solved.

Thanks, anyhow. Ric.

From my experience, fuzzy pictures from far away are always a good indication that even the cursory visit is going to be disappointing. My you sad face, I'm assuming that was the case. Keep up posted.
