Thief-Proof Numbers (body serial numbers)

Posted by Owen_Dyneto On 2009/1/2 13:31:36

I want to thank everyone who has contributed thief-proof numbers and corresponding vehicle numbers to me in the past. Though I wish I had a thousand more, I believe I have barely enough to support a research article for future publication in The Packard Cormorant which I'm currently writing.

That doesn't mean I'm still not interested in obtaining more data so if those of you who haven't already contributed are willing, I ask for:

Year, model
Thief-proof number (1929-1956)
Vehicle number (from the patent or serial # plate)
Briggs body number if between 1941 and 1954.

The years with the greatest need are 1930, 1931, 1935, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1942 and 1952.

Also if anyone has a 1940 made during the period when no thief-proof numbers were stamped, I'd love to have the vehicle number and model.

Send by PM or email to <dlczirr@optimum.net>.

Thanks.
