In '62 they had the Holiday Sedan, and now what they called the Holiday Sports Sedan (replacing the '61 Non-Holiday Sport Sedan). Holiday Sports Sedans continued through '65.
The '63 and '64 Luxury Sedan used the old Holiday Sedan body, but they were not referred to as Holidays, even though they were hardtops.
Town Sedans were pillared (framed door glass) 98 sedans. Olds first used this nomenclature in '61 and kept it up until probably '70. 88 sedans, from '59 through '66 (and 98s in '59 and '60) were known as Celebrity Sedans. 88s switched over to Town Sedans in '67.
Olds called their '51 98 4-door sedan a Holiday, even though it was not a hardtop and no Holiday identification appeared on the vehicle. I never did undertand that one. I guess it's because it had chrome moldings around the tops and bottoms of the side windows frames, but no chrome on the center pillar, giving it a hardtop look.
