The 1200 coupe is the one with fastback styling.

Album 2855

Overview

Coupe was never available in STD trim, so it has the upper scale fitments such as round gauges.
Album 8880

Fastback has a small trunk (it is not a hatchback/liftback)/

Coupes take especially well to custom touches

So what's the difference between a 2-dr 'sedan' and a 2-dr 'coupe'?'

Material Differences

Coupe is same as all other 1200s from the cowl forward -- except for the Coupe Grille.

After of the firewall, all is different:

• Windshield is lower
• Doors are longer (matching the 2-door sedan), and folding seats are standard
• Rear Seat folds down in order to lengthen cargo area
• Fuel tank is under the trunk (sedan tank is behind seat)
• Rear shocks are staggered for superior control (same as truck/van)
• Taillights are long rectangle, somehow looking more timeless than the sedan versions
• Rear bumper is unique (number plate fits under bumper)

In USA, coupes invariably came with GL-type hubcaps, though DX-type were optional.
