Thanks for the registry update.
Since they are rare it is hard to pin down the model number but I think that ironic as it may be that it could be 13 is the Henney Hearse/Ambulance model number.

My thought is this:
The body number for my 51 Henney hearse 24 13 2411 (24th series model 13)
The body number for the 52 Henney ambulance 25 13 2098 (25th series model 13)

I don't have enough data to be sure of it but it is a thought.

2413 would be correct as that is the 1951 300 commercial chassis which a hearse would be based on. I would suspect it was a later or delayed addition to the line because specs are in the Dec 1950 Service Counselor Vol24 #12 separately from the rest of the models which were introduced in the August issue.

Shadow and Shadowlette,

Congratulations. That will be a fabulous car once it comes together. And what a unique daily driver!

$350 for a rear window sounds like a good price. I needed one for my '53 Henney Junior and couldn't find one at any price. I ended up buying a '54 ambulance parts car just for the window. Of course I now have other parts (rear side glass too!) -- packardguy53 and others are right when they say scavenge what you can, when you can, you'll probably need it!
