Mal -
Thank the programmer for that dynamic update to the drop-down list - it's just how a well-planned knowledgebase should work, IMHO.

In manually adjusting the names, a maximum of only 30 characters can be entered.
The 30-character entry limit sounds like a problem for upper management - hopefully just a change to the Registry Edit form(s).

However, if creating a Registry entry from scratch about 56 characters are accepted before the name is truncated.
That explains the Registry entry for a
(895) One-Eighty Super Eight Custom All Weather Town-Car by Rollso. Yet, the title (including the model number) is displayed in its full length in the drop-down list for the Registry Add form. I wouldn't be surprised if a change in field specification (length) will be needed for the file/table structure of the Registry records, which may also trickle down to disply formatting - another job for upper management.
All things in due time.

As to the Henney, unless and until information surfaces permitting closer identication of these, this will also stay 'as is'.
I had found similar entry for a similar example from 1939, where the Model Number had been entered as '1701A' and was gonna suggest something, but quickly back-pedalled when I saw that there are no commercial chassis shown in the Clipper parts book. While
BDeB's info shows several models available as chassis-only, I'd hate to even venture a guess without additional factory documentation - like the parts book for those 20th Series 110-120-160-180 non-Clipper models (at a minimum).
