1935 TURRET TOP BODY CONSTRUCTION
In the 193S Turret Top Body Construction there are many
departures from the former methods of Body Building:. Instead
of building a Wood Skeleton Framework complete, then
applying the Panel Metal Stampings over it and attaching
them with nails and screws as in former Models the building
of the 1935 Turret Top Body is started in directly the opposite
manner.
The Panel Metal Stampings and Metal Braces are fitted together
in a Body Jig and welded into one Solid Shell after
which the Wood, Upholstery, and Glass Parts are built into
this Metal Shell forming a Body.
Such Wood Parts as are used, are for the purpose, mainly
of forming Foundations for attaching Upholstery parts, to
form Frames for Glass Openings, and to act as Sound Deadeners.
All 1935 Fisher Turret Top Bodies are similarly constructed,
the principal differences being in the designing of
the Body which necessitates different shapes and sizes of
Panels and locations of the Welding Lines. These will be fully
covered under the description of the various Units of the Body
on Page 7 and subsequent pages.

SEDAN
The Luggage Compartment in the Regular Sedan Body
Style is built-in with a Shelf for luggage and with a Compartment
beneath the Shelf for the Spare Tire. The Lid is
supplied with a Locking Handle and adjustable Hinges. (On
the earlier 1935 Bodies there were two Locks and two Handles
used.) The Lid is sealed against entrance of moisture by having
a molded rubber Weatherstrip cemented to and extending
entirely around the underside edge of the Lid.
The Body Styles on which this Type of Construction is used
are:
35-2009 Pontiac 8 Regular Sedan
35-2109 Pontiac 6 Regular Sedan
35-2109A Pontiac 6 Regular Sedan
35-3609 Oldsmobile 6 Regular Sedan
35-3809 Oldsmobile 8 Regular Sedan
35-5009 La Salle 8 Regular Sedan
SEDAN TOURING
The Touring Sedan is constructed exactly as the Regular
Sedan except for parts that form the Rear Luggage Compartment.
The Designing of this Style Body is such that a Trunk
effect is built into the rear of the Body to give more space for
Luggage than was possible with the Rear Compartment Construction
in the Regular Sedans.
The Rear Quarter Panels are extended to form the sides to
which the Roof Panel and Rear End Panel are welded forming
a Trunk Opening that is later fitted with a Trunk Lid.
The Construction of the Front End Assembly is, with very
few exceptions the same on all Sedans, Coaches, and Closed
Coupes.
The Trunk Lid is provided with a molded rubber Weatherstrip
and has exposed Hinges. The Trunk Locking Device is
similar to the one used on the Regular Sedan.
The Body Styles on which this type of Trunk Construction
is used are:
35-2019 Pontiac 8 Touring Sedan
35-2119 Pontiac 6 Touring Sedan
35-2119A Pontiac 6 Touring Sedan
35-3619 Oldsmobile 6 Touring Sedan
35-3819 Oldsmobile 8 Touring Sedan
35-5019 La Salle 8 Touring Sedan
35-1019 Chevrolet Master Touring Sedan
