"Retarted." I like that. I don't think I could have come up with anything better.

Yes, yours is retarded. It's called a "Sports Coupe" (when made by Olds) or a "post coupe."

The non-retarded cars are called "Holiday Coupes" (when made by Olds) or "hardtop coupes."

The "hardtop" design was introduced in the early 1950s as a major stylistic innovation over the traditional "post" designs, and continued as a higher-cost option (though some lines dropped the post design entirely) through the mid-seventies, when the basic facts of improved function and durability consigned the hardtop design, for the most part, to the history books.

My condolences.

Fords were the same though - post or hardtop.
For instance, LTDs were hardtops in the '60s, base Galaxies were posts.
