Four different types of coupes in the 1936 120 car lineup; the vehicle number would begin with one of these numbers, depending of which coupe. And the sidemounts were just factory options and not part of the body type.

998 - Business coupe for 2 passengers.
999 - Convertible coupe for 2/4 passengers
995 - Sport Coupe for 2/4 passengers
994 - Touring Coupe for 5 passengers.

So, if you had the first Business coupe made the VN would be 998-1001, the 100th Business coupe would have been 998-1101. And likewise for the other coupes.

The touring coupe would more commonly be called a coupe-sedan or coupe Victoria. As with the business coupe it would not have a rumble seat.
