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.
