I get dyslexia sometimes too, glad you found your error before you responded to McVicker.
For those with an interest, the attached shows exactly how these analyses are done. First, you must have at least one vehicle number (the more the better) for each body style offering. The column "highest # known" is obtained by taking the highest know sequential portion of the vehicle number (the second set of digits) and subtracting the starting number which for 1934 was 10. By totaling that column we can thus account for 4763 of the 5120 cars produced. Then take the percentages of the 4763 cars and project it for the total of 5120.
PS: I still lack enough data to do a similar analysis for the 1934 Super Eights and Twelves; hopefully someday I will and it will be interesting see how preferences for one body style or another varied as one moves up the ladder to the more exclusive cars.
