Fastback or Flatback, which was the correct term used by Ford executives?

Also Notchback or Coupr which is the correct term used in the Sixties?

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.
