If the number "U117443E" is on the plate on the firewall, there are two other numbers that you need to check: the engine number near the top of the RHS front engine mount and the chassis number which is on the top of the chassis near the firewall. They should all be fairly close to the above number and if so the car is a Fourth Series model or nominally a 1927 model The Fourth Series cars have engine numbers in the range 950007 to 120407.
This is confirmed by the body number "283" which is a 426 five passenger sedan.
"4" = Fourth Series or 1927
"26" = 126" wheelbase.
Lets see some photos.
