JW, you may well be correct about the Six and 120, and perhaps the Super 8. The 1939 Data Book says the column shift was standard equipment on the Six and 120, implying it was optional on the Super Eight and Twelve. Other sources say it was an option on all models, so I can't say with certainty which is correct but I've seen and driven a number of 39 Twelves with cane shift and can't say I've ever seen a Junior with cane shift.

Turnquist says column shift was a $240 option though it's unclear if he's speaking of just the Twelve but the comment immediately follows his discussion of the that model. Kimes says it was standard but that comes just after a discussion of the 120 model.

Wish I had a factory list of standard and optional equipment.
