True, a -9 on the data plate could be a re-numbered car. But if the -9 indicator is on the build sheet as it is in this case, then it came down the line as a 1949 car and cannot be a re-numbered car.

I am certainly looking forward to Robert Neal's book.

Edit: The exception would be the Station Sedan which could have had a -9 build slip and be re-numbered as a 23rd series... but let's not go down that road... it's confusing enough.
