Default Re: Why so many "Coupe" body styles?

I can see that. Possibly seen as the "fun" car back then or the church going car so they were upkept nicer and cared for VS the work every day pickup or the 4 door/2 door.

Probably same reason we have so many 1960-70's mustangs, camaros, chevelles, etc floating around today. Fun cars that were kept around and upkept nicely but completely impractical for everything but being sporty.
