Pillar

An upright body section supporting the roof.

The front pillar connected to the windscreen is called an A-pillar, the middle one separating the front and rear doors in a sedan is called a B-pillar, and the wide rear section between the side and rear windows is called the C-pillar.

Coupes traditionally have no B-pillar.
