Going back in time from the introduction of the 2020p which was introduced by the 2013 model year with #1466 (I am still trying to obtain photos of 1464 and 1465, both 2013's to confirm their body style):
The P2000i body style was introduced during the 2006 model year with coach 776 (or possibly 775) and ran through most of, if not all, the 2013 model year. The P2000i saw the introduction of the one piece windshield and the Porsche designed front end.
The 2000i body style was introduced during the 2005 model year, with coach 722. The "i" enhancements was a visually striking change from the 2000 body style. Buttresses were added to both sides of the roof giving the coach a much taller appearance and providing a means to attach the Girard Power Patio Awnings flush with the side of the coach. The rear end design changed dramatically eliminating the rectangular lights used since the introduction of the Series 2000 and from the side, the engine vents near the rear of the coach were mounted vertically instead of horizontally, again adding to the impressive of additional height.
The 2000 body style received a face lift with the last 1999 model year coach #538. The major change replaced the rectangular headlights which Newell had incorporated since 1990 with small round projector beam headlights mounted in a small recessed area that curves upwards on the edges making it look like the Newell is smiling. This was not only a visually appealing change, the new headlights allowed better control of the light beam and driver welcomed the better illumination of the road.
A dramatic body style change occurred with the 1990 year model when the 'Classic' body style was replaced with the '2000' body style. This was a major styling change which replaced the three piece windshield with a two piece windshield, rounded the lines of the coach and eliminated the slight eyebrow ledge over the windshield. The chrome bezels around the four rectangular headlights and two inboard rectangular turn signals were eliminated and the headlights were moved to a recessed area in the front of the coach using the headlight/outboard turn signal assembly from the Ford F-150 pickup. The inner headlights used the same headlight/turn signal assembly with the turn signal unit removed. The separate protruding front and rear metal bumpers were eliminated and the radius of the transition from the side to the roof was significantly changed giving the appearance of a straighter, taller coach and eliminating the need for the patio awning to have curved support arms. Although these change was met with a resounding approval from buyers, many still admire the lines of the 'Classic' body style and one owner even requested a Newell constructed with the 'Classic' body style in 1993 (Coach #317). This is only 'Classic' Newell produced after the 1989 model year ended with coach #213).
From 1967 through 1979, Newell used a pair of round headlights with round turn signals mounted above the headlights and the sides sloped in near the top requiring the use of curved awning support arms as were used on the Airstream travel trailers.
Now you know, as Paul Harvey would say, 'the rest of the story.'
