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.
