In addition to what others mention on the forum you might also look thru the 1940 Data Book That book covers major differences from the previous year as well as information on what might be standard or optional between models in the current year along with photos of some of them.

A few of the 40 Sales Brochures are also in the literature archive. While some might be artist illustrations or early information which might be changed with production they often show trim differences.

The 160 and 180 have trim in the insets around the side windows, they have different bumpers and the hood side louvers are also different. The 110 and 120 have, as I recall, 18 non-moving grille bars while the seniors have fewer which open and close thermostatically. Wheel covers are different too.

There were mid-year changes too so the illustrations on this site, while an excellent reference, might not shoe them all. I don’t know what these might have been on the senior models or even if there were any but I do have a mental list of those on the 110 and 120.
