                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was very surprised how nice Tron models really are when I got this one today. The level of detail and chrome trim is on par with the best models.</p>
<p>This beautiful Tron model is made with resin.</p>
<p>Here it is next to Dick Browns Brooklin 1947 Cadillac series 62. </p>
<p>These 2 models look like they could have been produced from the same body tooling, although the trim and and smaller features have subtle differences, with the Tron using jewelled headlights.</p>
<p>Fastbacks and wagons, especially woody wagons, are of my favorite body type cars.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>And a little break down from Hemmings explaining the different names for these beautiful body style types.....</p>
<p>'<span>The very first coupes weren't American, they were French, and they weren't cars, either. Coupé (some designers still insist on the "koo-pay" pronunciation) is the French verb meaning "to cut," and it was first applied to 19th Century carriages, where the rear-facing seats had been eliminated, or cut out. The "Club" portion is a little murkier, but the consensus seems to be that the notion arose from the sensation of being in the exclusive club car of a train: A semi-private lounge or parlor, accessible, yes, but you had to be special to get there.</span></p>
<p><span>Club Coupes are two-doors -- and that they have a certain style that sedans lack. The room that designers gave up in the cabin they got back on the rear decklid, and that meant the proportions of a club coupe body style were lower and longer than a sedan. Put them side-by-side, and you had the perfect in-between car, with plenty of room for passengers and two-door coolness.</span></p>
<p>Coupe: Any two-door other than a Two-Door Sedan, smaller than a related four-door in the same model line. If there is no sedan in that model's lineup, the two-door is a coupe and cannot be a Two-Door Sedan. All two-door two-seaters with a solid roof are coupes. Many manufacturers have referred to qualifying convertibles and retractable-roof cars as Convertible Coupes when the tops were up.</p>
<p>Hatchback Coupe: Any coupe with a luggage compartment contiguous with the passenger compartment and accessed via a large rear liftgate.</p>
<p>Sports Coupe: Any coupe having no B-pillar, often a fastback; also called Hardtop Coupe, Two-Door Hardtop, Berlinetta, Berlinette.</p>
<p>Business Coupe: A two-door with a single row of seating and space between the seatback and the end of the passenger compartment, as for a salesman's sample case.</p>
<p>Opera Coupe: A two-door with a single row of permanent seating and folding occasional or jump seats as the second row.</p>
<p>Club Coupe: A two-door with two rows of seating and a trunk, smaller than a sedan in the same lineup for comparison, generally having a fixed B-pillar, and a rear seat farther forward than in a comparable sedan. Also called Close-Coupled Coupe.</p>
<p>Sedanet (Sedanette): A fastback Club Coupe; also called Aero Coupe, may or may not be a Hatchback Coupe. Originally a sedan, which resembled a Coupe.</p>
<p><span>Two Door Sedan: A two-door with two rows of seating, having the same or nearly the same room and seating configuration as a sedan in the same lineup, usually with a profile identical to a sedan. Also called Business Sedan (if lacking rear seat), Brougham (also applied to four-doors), Brougham Coupe, Coach, Club Sedan, Victoria (also applied to smaller coupes).'</span></p>
