It also shows up in the 1948 Fact (Data) Book and the 1949 Dealer Accessories Price List. As HH56 says, it's easiest to find these by year.

The 22nd and 23rd Series backup lights mounted on the panel below the trunk lid. Thread size is 7/16" so the hole diameter needs to be slightly larger.

The original equipment Delco for 1948 was #1110811
Max Vacuum Advance 7 Degrees, Max Governor Advance 9 Degrees Later distributors will also fit, but the advance curves are different.

Safety Rim Wheels were first mentioned for the 24th Series in the March 1951 Service Counselor as starting to be supplied on some 300's and Patrician 400's and at a later date on 200 Models. Only the Safety wheels were to be used when the stock on present design was exhausted, but it apparently took quite a while for this to happen as I recently found the older type wheels on a late production 1955 Patrician.

Are you sure that the first letter of the engine number is an "N" and not an "H"
A number in the H2xxxxx series would place it in the 1949 model year which then matches the casting date.
