Series and Model Information | ||
| The One Twenty was now known as the Eight this year. Its wheelbase was increased seven inches (to 127) for the 1601 cars, with a 148-inch chassis arriving for Model 1602. Compression ratio was changed to 6.6:1, with a 7.05:1 aluminum head as an available option. Only the four-door touring sedan was available as a DeLuxe model, though any of the body styles could be turned into a DeLuxe by ordering the correct accessories. | ||
