Re: Briggs early 40s body stamping question

Were any non-Clipper bodies stamped by Briggs in the early 1940s?

We've been over this some time ago in another thread which you might be able to find, but the answer seems to be NO. If I recall correctly this is supported by information in the minutes of the Packard Board of Directors indicating the contract with Briggs was only for the Clipper-style bodies (ED - and the LeBarons). I believe all of Packard's Board Meeting minutes survive and I do have a copy of that reference somewhere, if I find it easily I'll post it. Though I've only examined a handful of 1941 and 1942 Clippers, thus far none have had a Briggs Body Number tag. That doesn't mean they didn't have one, well all know how such tags and VN plates seem to be removed and get lost.
