Note: All Cadillac V-8's up to this
time had been designated Type 51, Type 53, etc., through Type
61; with no -A, -B, etc. to designate the first or second
year of a two year production run (57, 59, 61). For
1924-1925, the designation became V-63; not Type V-63, not
Series V-63, just V-63. However, some Cadillac master parts
books covering V-63 plus Type 59 and Type 61 do refer to Type
63. Further, these parts books refer to 63-A and 63-B in
reference to early vs late or 1924 vs 1925 V-63 chassis as
well as body differences.
