Re: Recent additions to the Owner Registry

Some time (years) ago, the Owner Registry function was revised with intent to make data entry easier and the entries more uniform, by following the site's Model Info nomenclature.

So, the misuse of the term "Wagon" traces directly back to the Model Info pages for the following Body Numbers:

2293 - Standard Eight Station Wagon
2293-9 - Standard Eight Station Wagon
2393-5 - Eight Station Wagon
2393 - Eight Station Wagon

Although I didn't build the content for these pages, I am able to edit them (and have since done so) to reflect the terminology "Station Sedan" as used in factory literature. These changes took effect immediately and are also reflected, automatically, in the search results by Year and Series, since those pages are dynamically generated from the Model Info database.

However, while the drop-down lists for Owner Registry add/edit forms were also derived from that same database, I'm not sure that those lists will be updated automatically. Else, they will require recoding by hand by BigKev. Also, the existing Registry entries for such models will have to be edited manually, by Mal.
