    Fastback and coupe, I think. Who knows what goes through an executives mind?

    I have heard the 71-73 Fastbacks called Flatbacks.

    Also, the 69-70s were called Sportsroof by Ford, and the earlier models were often called 2+2s.

    65 - 66 = 2+2
    67 - 68 = fastback
    69 - ? = sportsroof

    Not sure about the coupe vs notch back thing.

    A Notchback is a car that has the fastback shape, but when you open the trunk, the rear window comes with the trunk lid.
