Unless you are lucky enough to find the original build slip (typically attached to the top of the glove box) there is no way of knowing with any precision. You could make a rough guess based on the body serial (theft-proof) number. Estimates based on the vehicle number would be less precise as we know very little about how production of the various models was sequenced and batched thru the production year. The range of theft-proof numbers as established from surviving cars and known to me begins with A00050 and runs to about B02XXX (there is some overlap with the beginning of the 1952 model year). It's quite possible that the 24th Series began with A00001.
