In the model year 1919, the series FA was renamed FB series. Initially, 1514 pieces of the 2-door FA sedans under the name FB -40 were further developed. The other vehicles of the FB series had a chassis with 2794 mm wheelbase. These were a 2-seater roadster with 2 doors ( model FB-20 ), a 3-seater coupe with 2 doors ( model FB-30 ), a 4-seater sedan with 4 doors ( model FB-40 ) and a 5- seated tourer with 4 doors ( model FB-50 ) shown above. Engine, drive and brakes remained the same. The selling prices were between 1110, - and 1685, - US $.
In 1920, the styling was revised. Like the lower-priced models of the 490 series , the FB received sweeping lines around the bulkhead. With these changes, the models were manufactured until 1922. Last year prices fell to 865, - to 1395, - US $.
A total of 74,140 FB series vehicles were built in four years. 1923 accounted for the series without replacement.
