Hmmm, quite some time, but I'll keep learning and you feel free to let me know the correct answers :-)

​Bubbletop is a term that only came around in the '90s, to describe the roofline of the '62 Bel Air hardtop,which used the '61 roof, differentiating it from the 62 Impala, which had the new, more formal roofline, pioneered by the '58 Thunderbird. In the fifties and sixties, a bubble top was a Plexiglass dome over the passenger compartment, emulating the fighter jet canopies of the day, by custom car builders, such as Ed Roth, Dean Jeffries, and Bill Cushenberry. We just called the hardtops by their year and name, and we knew Chevrolet made two hardtop rooflines in '62, one for the Bel Air ( last year of the Bel Air hardtop), one for Impala. Cars with a B pillar were sedans , no B pillar, hardtops. There was no such thing as a "post car", back in the day. All this confusion dates back to the late eighties, when people too young to remember what hardtops were, became editors of major automotive magazines, and started making up new terms for things they didn't understand, because they weren't enthusiast's early enough. They don't teach this stuff in Journalism class. And now I'm triggered everytime someone says "post car" or "bubbletop", especially when they use it on a car not related to the cars that started the confusion to begin with. ✌️😎👍 PS, thanks for all you do covering AMC cars, we appreciate it.

I don't think so, however not sure. Hoping a Viewer with knowledge can share.
