I am trying to get a handle on GM A body styles from 1970-72 and understand why GM offered some marques in 2 dr hardtop and 2 dr coupe (post) in some years but not all.
I am Familiar with the Olds Cutlass and 442, which offered a two door post all three years but the 442 was not available on a post coupe in 71. I cant find any reference to a Chevelle 2 dt post after 69 yet Buick and Pontiac came and went with 2 dr post offerings in the 3 year span. Anyone know why the Chevelle was never offered as a 2 dr post or are they so rare you just dont see them?

You can also refer to the GM Heritage Center archives and download (free) .pdf files of the information packets for the various years. These reference documents are a compilation of the actual docs that engineering used in order to release parts to the assembly plant.
http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-h...tion-kits.html In terms of model and option content, and why some models were offered for various years and not others, it is a pure business case decision made by the specific program teams at the time. There's really no way to know unless you were a fly on the wall in the conference room while the discussions took place (or if you can find someone that took really good notes). K

This was about as close to a two door post - philosophically - as you could get in 1970...but no post [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
