If the wood portions had deteriorated and was replaced that might mean rebodied for a woodie. Apparently back in the 20s and 30s it was also common to replace a body if a customer wanted a change or maybe a car had front end damage and the remainder of the body was still in good condition. If you look thru some of the service letters from that era you will see the occasional announcement that such and such a dealer had a body for sale and it would go on to give specifics of the type and condition and sometimes the reason it was offered..
