Hi all I was wondering if someone could list the what body and mechanicals are the same and what are unique between V8 and V12 1931 Fleetwood body roadsters.

  I'm sorry,but it would take way too long to make the list. You will need to buy a parts book on eBay and look up the parts you need.Warren

Thanks Warren,could you tell me if the guards, doors, roadster back, grille, headlights or bonnet are the same or is the bonnet longer on a V12. David

You have to say 'Hood' on this forum David ;D

I have virtually no knowledge of this era but from what I read it looks like the V12 was more similar to the V16 cars and the V8 sharing more things with the LaSalle.

The same body fire wall back but there are some differences in the fire wall itself. As for the gill / stone guard if that is what you are saying is the same. Where the 31 V16 is same as the 30 V8

Thanks for your reply Joe, so if the body from the firewall back is the same and the grill is the same can I assume the hood is longer on a V12 roadster compared to a V8 hood?  David

Guess it would have to be as the chassis is longer?
