Can someone tell me what is the difference between the 1939
model 1701 & 1703 sedan convertible.

I know the engine and carburetor or different. I also know there was a large difference in amounts built but are there other items that make the 1703 so much more valuable according to NADA

Thanks for Your help.

Just for starters the 1703 is a CCCA Full Classic.

EDITED POST:
The 1701 and the 1703 share bodies, but use different engines.

Thanks, according to specifications they both have 127"
wheelbase. Is this incorrect info?

Yes. There was also a 148-inch wheelbase for both the 120 and the the Super 8. The 120 with that wheelbase was the 1702 model, and the the Super 8 with that wheelbase was the 1705 model.

I believe I erred in stating that the 120 and Super 8 were completely different cars. They did share bodies. I will edit my post above.
