Automotive body designers often used traditional coachbuilding terms to describe new designs. As
automotive styling diverged from traditional coach styles, these terms were often applied imaginatively.
Designers took creative liberties with terms which could be contradictory from make to make as did sales
managers attempting to create an aura of, for example, sportiness. Terms such as “sedanca” and “deVille”
have been applied so broadly to so many different body styles as to render them almost meaningless for
exact descriptive purposes. Good luck....
