Here are toll-tale signs according to those that I've done research with:
1. Folding front seat with storage makes it a Type-B Sedan 2. Cowl lights make it a "Deluxe" or "Special" Model 3. While some literature I read says the Type-A has the solid split rims vs. wood spoke wheels, the pictures from Chris show the Deluxe B-Type with solid rims
Paint scheme seems to be about the same although it does appear that Dodge Brothers seemed to change their mind often. Body is Blue I with fenders, gas tank, front skirt of radiator, etc. in black. Vern was able to send a complete list of under the hood colors ranging from the blue/green normal engine color to black, unpainted, brass, etc.
Vehicle is totally disassembled and frame and other parts to media blasting and the shop in Lebanon, TN has volunteered their time and materials to blast the frame and powder coat for free. Trying to make her the best we can and will enjoy taking her to many shows once completed.
Still lots more coming in forms of books etc. My brother-in-law is a Sr. Exec with Chrysler so trying to leverage anything there too but records pre-1030 are not kept. I'll keep you posted as there aren't enough hours in the day to now read all I've gotten but we're racing time to be ready for Detroit.
