I was able to find the so-called build sheet on top of the glovebox.
It is an index-sized paper and it has some #'s on it. Some are impossible to read.
From memory I think what I can read is:

Dec,6 1948
2293 M(?) 5212 or 5213 (cannot remember which one it is but I know that the Briggs # is either 5212 or 5213 so the Briggs # and the # on the card are one off - either up or down. (Briggs # 5212 - Card # 5213 OR Briggs # 5213 - Card # 5212. I can check though. Right now I don't have the card in front of me.


So going by what I have read it appears that the car was a 1949 model year that was renumbered to my VIN # - 2393-5-3570 as a 1950.
Also, on my data plate I cannot read the paint or trim codes. From what I understand they may have been "pencilled" in at the dealer and may have rubbed off.
