1972 Imperial LeBaron hardtop coupe. 440 4-barrel V8. Vinyl covered pillows mounted to the insides of the C-pillars. 12mpg on a good day. Glorious every day.

How the hell do you get 12 out of it?! Glorious indeed!

If your driving never opens the secondaries, you have a decent chance.

Hmm, that must be my problem. I’m only getting 9, but I keep opening the secondaries. A lot open. Glorious, glorious sounds! WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM (glug glug glug glug)

Technically I don’t think that has a C-pillar

No, it does. It just doesn't have a B-pillar.

I thought it was as simple as counting back from the first pillar. So the second pillar from the front is the B-pillar, and you can’t have a C without a B.

I’ll admit that the door pillar usually is the B-pillar. But I thought that’s how they were named.

I was wrong. From Wikipedia:

Pillars are implied, whether they exist or not; where a design’s greenhouse features a break between windows or doors without vertical support at that position, the non-existent pillar is “skipped” when naming the other pillars. Thus a two-door hardtop or a three box designed coupé could have its rearmost pillar called the C-pillar even in the absence of a B-pillar. Conversely additional doors, such as on limousines , will create additional B-pillars; the B-pillars are then numbered, B1, B2, and so forth.

The more you know, right!?

Yeah, the definition has a bit of fluidity to it. For instance, a Buick Verano has a “split A-pillar” and a “split C-pillar.” If the rule were hard and fast, the Verano (and Honda Fit, Toyota Prius, etc) would have E-pillars at the back.
