Datsun 1200 (B110) Body Styles
In Japan, the B110 is called the Sunny.
4-dr Wagon (a.k.a. 5-dr Wagon)
2-dr Utility (aka truck, pickup, 'ute', camioneta or bakkie)
Search the Photo Album for more pictures of all these models.
So what's the difference between a 2-dr 'sedan' and a 2-dr 'coupe'?'
A sedan is a car with a back seat, where the back seats passengers have more of less the same room as the front seat passengers. Also, it has a separate trunk compartment.
A coupe on the other hand has no back seat or a smaller cramped passenger area.
coupe [ koop ]car with two doors: a car with two doors and a hard, fixed roof that seats two people or has a small rear seat.
Also called coupe: Coupe - Encarta World English Dictionary
So the 1200 coupe is a 2+2 ('has a small rear seat'), while the sedan is more optimized for both front and rear passengers (the 1200 sedan has more headroom in back seat, you'll notice, even though the seats are the same size).
This is another example of the word evolving over time. Originally coupe meant two passengers inside and a driver outside.
Sedan
Sedan - Encarta World English Dictionary
U.S. type of car: a car with a fully enclosed passenger compartment, a permanent roof, two or four doors, front and rear seats, and a separate trunk
In the case of the 1200 Coupe, the trunk area is not separate from the passenger compartment (even though it has a 'trunk lid' not a hatchback).
Trim levels
Trim levels and names vary by country, but include basic Standard, better Semi-Deluxe, Deluxe (DX) luxury GL (Grand Luxury) and sporty GX (Grand Luxury Twin-Carb).
Japan-market trim levels for B110 (1200) and PB110 (1400)
STD
Standard trim was not available for Coupe. It included painted bumpers (instead of chrome), no roof rain drip rails.
DX
Deluxe was the basic Coupe trim, and one step up for Sedan and Truck.
Coupes only came in the higher trim levels
GL
Grand Luxe included premium seats and steering wheel.
GX
Grand Luxe Twin Carb was the top of the line for the B110 model series. It included all the GL appointments, plus twin carburetor engine.
Regular Wagon with GX trim added
