To add a bit more to what Kev mentioned. The car is indeed a model 1908 Super Eight 180 Custom, body style 1451, Sedan touring 7 passenger. The 2141 portion of the number is the sequential build number. The serial number of the engine 503885 is in the correct range for a 1941 Super Eight 356 engine which is also correct engine for the car.There should be a prefix "CD" before the number which should be found on the lower left corner of the engine block (passenger side). The engine build date correctly predates the delivery date so is likely the original engine. There were 4455 Super Eights built in 1941 and 930 designated as 180's. A lovely rare car! I just love those '41 180's especially the 7 passenger models. Why not join us and post a photo in the Registry?
