Most cars were of the variant "saloon", a two-door four-seater that would likely be called a coupe on today's terms. The variant called "coupe" was, in turn a sedan with a flat roof, sharply angled rear windows and a flat trunk. The "coupe" actually offered more headroom in the rear seats than the "saloon".
