There are two steelback and leatherback. But variants on those as production progressed. Two basic body styles
A400 is not considered a Vic although it shares many/some interior features

The style names are actually Victoria Coupe
A400 is Convertible Sedan

There are 2 Victoria Coupe body styles, both made by Murray, and the 400A is not one of them. The first style of the 190A Victoria Coupe is the Leather-back. The Leather-back was succeeded by the Steel-back. The 190A in the picture here is a Steel-back. The beautiful 190A in the post above is a Leather-back.
The 400A Convertible Sedan looks like a flip-top version of the Victoria Coupe, and it was also made by Murray. However, Ford did not market the 400A as a relative of the 190A.

If you are speaking of a visor, no
It was the introduction of the slant bodies which have no visor
As Ronn says ...you can call it what you wish!!

No. Eyebrow fenders were slated for Fordor Sedan in 1930 but was discontinued prior to February which was before the Victoria Coupe was introduced.

The 190A Victoria Coupe is the first Model "A" to have a visor-less slant windshield, 1931 front fenders with the integral nose piece of the running board apron, & the 1931 radiator shell. Owners complained of water leaks through the top of slant window, so some owners installed a straight windshield visor on their Victoria. The visor on a slant windshield car was not by Ford or a dealer thing.
