1971-1974 Charger - What Design?

[71SandbugCharger]

I'm reading the "These are the 7 hottest muscle cars of 2018" article on the Hagerty forums, and in the section of the '68 - '70 Charger, they wrote that this is the "version, with its famed Coke-bottle body..." I always thought the '71-74' B-body Charger was the "Coke Bottle" shaped body. If the '71-'74 B-body is not the Coke body, then what is it really referred to?

I’ve always heard the referred to as the fuselage body.

Coke bottle was initially the 2nd gen. 71/74 is more associatted to the fuselage body ALTHOUGHT the fuselage body therm was assigned really to C bodies not B. Of course, 71/74 B bodies design are influenced by this.

All '68 to '74 Chargers have what is called the coke bottle shape as well as Corvettes of the same period and '71 to '74 Javelin/AMX.
