Re: 1948 or 1949 22nd series?

Other than the Briggs, motor and theft proof numbers, the only difference between a 1948 and a 1949 22nd Series car was the vehicle number. ANY leftover unsold 1948 model could have been issued a new patent plate with a 22nd Series 1949 VN, thus allowing the selling dealer to avoid the discounted sales price that a year-old leftover would have had. It's not possible to tell without the VN or original dealer sales invoice or equivalent.

Pretty much the same MO used over at Chrysler Corp.
