Hi Ron, I have looked up in the Velie Registry published in 2006. It states in 1926 the coupe body was built by Union City Company, all other bodies were made by Wilson Co. The 1928 Body Details and Tire Equipment for 1928 cars shows that the bodies for all Velies of 1928 were their "own". When I took my 28 sedan the one in your picture apart there were no recordings apparent inside showing the body manufacturer.

I also compared your list of body manufacturers to the suppliers list for 1928, and the following were not listed: Towson Body Co; J.C. Widman Body co.; George Evans Corp.
If you want me to measure my window, and door dimensions I can do so and we can email between us to compare some notes.
