[BMWCSRegistry] Missing "B" Pillar

[jef rolison]

In 1950 Chevrolet introduced the Bel Air Hardtop a B pillarless coupe
that was carried into the early 60's. By 1957 Chevrolet was selling over
700,000 Bel Airs a year. Other GM brands as well as most manufacturers
had a similar hardtop coupe model even Art's often maligned Buicks.

    Went on a mountain run yesterday with a bunch of off brand German
    cars.
    I was showing them the way in our CS- which was fun.
    Smooth is better than raw HP on the twisty bits. The CS performed
    admirably.

    At a scenic overlook we were in a lot filled with all kinds of
    incredible
    sports car iron (Lambos, Vettes, GT3 Porsches, Ferraris, and more
    Caymans.)
    *It's funny (to me) how the CS captures an admiring audience
    where the
    others don't. We park, get surrounded, and none of the others do.

    Somebody says, "I've always loved the lines of the old BMW's."
    He's pointing
    at my car. "The way the A and B pillars are, the big windows
    front and
    rear..."

    Hey, wait a minute- my copy of the CS doesn't HAVE A "B" PILLAR!
    I got cheated!

    Question is, should I correct the person- or just let it go.
    The CS, of course, is a classic 'pillarless' "B" design coupe.
    I wonder if we can make a list, albeit a short one, of the other
    great
    coupes that don't have "B" pillars.

    1. Jaguar "XJC"
    2. more????
