Late 30's Coupe bodies

I have a vague notion that I read about the 1938-1939-1940 Junior Coupe bodies before, but I cannot find it, so I will open it up again.
What is the interchangibility between the 1938, 1939, 1940 Coupe bodies ? I know there would obviously be differences in the front clip of the eights vs. the sixes, but speaking of the body tubs, doors, rear fenders, trunk lid, windows...are they interchangible ? Some trim and garnishes I know would be different, but I am thinking Packard used the same basic body stampings for these 3 years of the Coupe. True or False ?

Others I'm sure will have some answers but let me suggest you refer to the 1935-1941 junior parts book, just a simple matter of looking up the part in question and seeing which other years/models used the same part#.

I believe that to be true. Front-end sheetmetal is different for the Six and/or 110. You may find different part numbers for the rear fenders. Although they may be slightly different, all will interchange physically.
