I was just looking at the information here on the 1946 model 1651 which is listed as a "Custom Super Clipper Eight Limousine" while the 1650 is listed as a "Custom Super Clipper Eight Long WB Sedan". Aren't these reversed? According to the Parts Manual, they are.

Same applies to 1947 2150/2151

Looks like the titles merely got reversed by mistake. I'm not responsible for creating those particular pages, but I've now fixed that.

Also, the photo used to depict a 1651 looks like a custom body to me (no rear quarter window).

Can't help with that one, as I'm not the source of those images.

The rest of the data looks to be same, between the respective models - except for WEIGHT and MSRP. I left those alone, suspecting that the limo would be the slightly heavier and more expensive of the two.

I also noticed, and corrected, missing ground designation (+) for all 47 models. Suspect this was another result of a boilerplate technique initially used to quickly put some meat on the bones of the feature, where a mistake propagates throughout closely related pages. Had previously found some Su8 data entered for some years of V12 models. (Just found '7.0x16' tires, and even some '7.0x15', listed in the 40-41-42 pages and am now cleaning that up, page-by-page.)

I can correct simple errors when I find 'em (and as time permits), but I'm no expert on all years of these cars. So, thanks for bringing this into public light and providing supporting evidence.
