- Some confusion exists as regards style numbers on 1934-35 Fleetwood bodies.
- Following the previous Fleetwood system, V-8’s would be 56- or 60- styles, V-12’s would be 57- or 61- styles, and V-16’s would be 58- or 62- styles.
- This system was followed in promotional literature, in the 1934 Master Parts List, and in early factory records.
- However, since the bodies were identical for all these series, Fleetwood stamped all body plates 57- or 60-.
- Master Parts Lists after 1934 used only 57- or 60- style numbers for 1934-35 Fleetwood bodies.
- Starting in 1936, V-8 and V-12 style numbers reflected the new 1936 series designations, but V16’s retained the 57- system.
- However the 60- styles were no longer offered.
