There is no single significant repository of original sales records; I have original sales data on perhaps 1000 cars between 1935 and 1950 and other such data collections may exist elsewhere in private hands. Some owners have been fortunate enough to find old documents in the car or from prior owners and reconstruct some history, and that's probably your best bet to start. Generally you can forget getting assistance from state motor vehicle agencies.

1940 was a curious year in that for a portion of the year the cars were not assigned a body serial number of "theft-proof" number. My files are indexed by theft-proof number and if your car has one, I'd be glad to see if I have anything one it - but don't hold your breath, the chances are very slim.
