There are many changes. Let me step back and make an organized table of what I have found between my 264 and 289 models.But off the top of my head here is a short list

+turning radius
+1 vs 2 piece windshield
+ 289 has L & R marked lug bolts with Budd wheels
+ visor folds flat on 264 but not 289
+ corner curvature of rear window
+

I ask as I am trying to sort out the pre-1930s cars as many of the accepted body-type numbers are quickly being found to be incorrect.

For the 326 model, there are three 5 person sedans: 221, 264, 289.

Some of the body types in parts book have two, but with a note that one number was used prior to engine a certain engine number, and another body type number after that engine number.

From the Six parts book: change to hypoid differential and driveshafts after elimination of torque arm, new style headlamps, different chassis lubricator, toe board etc…

Which happened in the March/April 1926.

So just trying to correlate if one of sedan body types is a result that change over. Which also begs the question about the third type.

Any assistance you can provide is most helpful.
