The person that told you it is a 1930 is confused by the cowl which was unique to some of the 4 door sedans.

170-A is a steelback. 60-A is a leatherback, meaning the top covering material comes all of the way down the back to the beltline. Your pic is pretty small even when enlarged, so hard to tell if the top material is there or not. Rod

It is a steelback, there was never any top material on the back. There is also a strip of moulding around the top on the back that stops the material from going down the back.

It is a 1929 60C Steelback, I've got the remains of one if you need any help. Bob
