Thanks for the interesting additional info. That data book has gotta be a rare piece, and it looks to be in excellent shape.

Based on the title page, it appears that I'm on the right track with the placement of terms like Special and Custom in model nomenclature as regards the 1942/20th Series line-up for our Model Info feature.

The book has all of the body styles covered, too - save for the Darrin, LeBaron, and Rollson customs.

Odd that they didn't apply 'Touring' as an adjective for the Sedans, but I'm gonna keep it. (Look at a 1940 brochure and you'll find a Family Sedan, which is the same body profile as the Toruing Sedan, but a 2-door).
