Re: Advice from those in the know on 1949 Super 8 Coupe

The first 4 digits of the serial number on the plate on top of the cowl will tell the tale:

2295 Eight Club Sedan
2265 Deluxe Eight Club Sedan
2275 Super Eight Club Sedan

The car looks quite nice and has been spiffed up with 1951 side trim, 22nd series Custom Eight trim around the tail lights, and aftermarket headlight rims.

The engine looks quite correct, but the engine # will tell the tale. It should start with G4 etc.

I see the car has the desirable R11 overdrive option and the interesting but seldom functioning automatic clutch "Electromatic" option. We will look forward to hearing more about it.
