Re: 110 Coupe convertible 1941 estimated production figure

Thanks for sharing your methodology. Agrees pretty well with my earlier estimate of about 7.5% of the 110 cars being convertible coupes.

Have you considered how many of the body type 1489 cars might have been DE1489 cars? Based on survivors of other 1941 cars like the "160" convertible coupes, the DE version had a very much lower production. Just a pure guess, but I'd suspect not that many 110 1489s were the DE version as with that extra cost of the DE version considered, only another $160 would have bought a 120, but I'm just speculating.

The BDN (thief-proof number) can be useful for estimating where in the production run your particular body was assembled.
