According to Ford Geelong sales book the correct name for Slopers was "Coupe Sedan"
There were only 1763 units made for the 1939 and 1940 style.

There is a body number stamped on the firewall near the kidney shaped metal cover over the wiring loom. For '39 Standard it reads S91C*** and for Deluxe D91C***, the Standard cowl, bonnet and fenders differ to Deluxe style.
In 1939 there were 1160 units, 368 were Standard and 792 were Deluxe.

The 1940 Sloper has a cowl number stamped 01A-70-*** ther were 603 units, 342 were Standard and 261 were Deluxe. Production of 40's ceased in December 1948.

In 1980's I owned a 1940 Deluxe Sloper, cowl number 01A-70-428, made in December 1941
