Not exactly....

General Motors owned the convertible market in 1970. Chevy Chevelle, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac Lemans, and Buick Skylark, were all offered in convertibles. Chevrolet Impala's, Olds Ninety-Eight's, Pontiac Catalina's, and Buick LeSabre's were also available as convertibles. Not to mention the Buick Riviera and Cadillac Eldorado convertibles.

Just because you own the market doesn't always mean an extra convertible model is a good idea - take the case of the 1970 Monte Carlo.

Also in the case of Chrysler. They built competitive Dodge and Plymouth 4-door sedan models for each segment. The A-body (Dart and Valiant. B-Body(Coronet and Satellite). Also C-body (Dodge Monaco/Polara),(Plymouth Fury), Chrysler (Newport/New Yorker/Imperial).

The body style never offered by Chrysler Corporation as 4-door was the E-body (Barracuda/Challenger)... which was exactly in line with the offerings from General Motors(Camaro/Firebird), and Ford (Mustang/Cougar).
