By definition, a coupe has 2 doors.
Olds called it Sport Coupe. Generic name was Coupe.
Like a 2 door Sedan, the window frames are part of its doors.
Olds called it Holiday Coupe. After 1955, the generic name was 2 door hardtop.
Windows roll down like those in a Convertible, hence the generic name "hardtop convertible". Soon shortened to "hardtop" then to 2 and 4 door hardtop, in 1955, when the "4 door hardtop" was introduced.
