Default Re: How to tell if a '40 was business or 5 window coupe

I have included a few photos that may help. The pans were radically different between the two models.
A couple of other "tells" are the support braces in the trunk. Note the business coupe braces are rather short compared to the coupe.
Also note the spare tire braces are very different between the two body styles. The business coupe had a pair of vertical braces. The coupe braces are diagonal.
If you double click on the photos, you will then see the title to that photo.
