Thanks Joe,
Can you explain what they mean by (notchback).
And what about the BODY TAG,can you tell me where it is located on the 71 Cutlass.

J-(Chicago)

body tag should be on the cowl by the front firewall

The 70-72 Cutlass Supremes used a squared off roofline with a more vertical back window than the other 2dr Cutlii. The former is usually called a "notchback" as opposed to the latter which are usually referred to as a "fastback". This is just popular nomenclature, not anything special.
