The table above lists the twelve, Ford sold, closed bodies installed on the Ford Model AA chassis during the production years. The 85-A and 85-B Panel Deliveries were the only closed bodies available through 1930.

The other ten closed body types were introduced in 1931. The last was the passenger bus (type 330-B) which was first produced in November 1931. The gallery has an example of each type.
