Re: Thief-Proof Numbers (body serial numbers)

Gusha, thanks for the detective work, but now I'm really confused. The 1402 19R would denote a "senior" Eight right hand drive Detroit-built chassis (#19) built for export and custom coachwork, but the engine and body dash or theft-proof number clearly correspond to a "120" and not an "Eight" (in 1935, 1936 and 1937 the junior cars did not have end brackets for the theft-proof number).

Or am I missing something?
