The _first implementation_ may have been 16-bit, but I am in no doubt whatsover (having written a lot of assembler code for the 68K family) that the _architecture_ was 32-bit: - 32-bit registers - many operations (arithmetical, logical, etc) defined for that length - 32-bit addresses
Also, Apple Computer referred to it as a 32 bit microprocessor in their early Macintosh ads. I always just considered it a 32 bit CPU with a 16 bit external bus.
