The Ford Barn

Years ago I saw a 1930-31 coupe that had been channeled for a street rod. It had a Briggs body tag. At the time I heard that Briggs supplied coupe bodies for Ford and that the reveals and molding details were more detailed than the Ford bodies. As I also recall this street rod seemed to have crisper lines than the other coupes I had seen. Can anyone provide any details regarding the Briggs-supplied coupes? I am just curious because I have never seen this topic covered anywhere.
Thanks

I have a '31 Dlx coupe with Briggs body. I was not aware of any difference from a Ford body except for the Briggs tag.

Another possibility is the body lines were reworked. As an example I have seem a moulding created over the tops of the windows and the rain gutter removed.
