=== North America === In North America, the numerous marketing terms for the fastback body style included "aerosedan", "club coupe", "sedanette" and "torpedo back".<ref>{{cite magazine |url= http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,799725-2,00.html |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090131072437/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,799725-2,00.html |url-status= dead |archive-date= 31 January 2009 |title=The Forty-Niners |magazine=Time |date= 24 January 1949 |access-date= 24 December 2015}}</ref> Cars included [[Cadillac]]'s [[Cadillac Series 61|Series 61]] and [[Cadillac Series 62|62]] Club Coupes, as well as various other models from [[General Motors]], [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], and [[Chrysler]]. From the early 1940s until 1950, nearly every domestic manufacturer offered at least one fastback body style within their model lineups. Although the styling was good, the cars had less trunk capacity compared to the notchback designs.<ref>{{citation |date=11 April 2017 |title=Buick's Stylish, Impractical Fastbacks |first=Donald |last=Pittenger |work=The Style Critic}}</ref> In the mid-1960s, the style was revived on many GM and Ford products until the mid-1970s.
