Hello Springs,

Many here are quite knowledgable about such things. I could be incorrect, but a quick glance at your number appears to make it a Sixth series standard eight (models 626-633). Model year 1929. Motor numbers 233017 through 276166. Models introduced August 1, 1928 through August 20, 1929.

Body types were sedan, coupe, convertible coupe, phaeton, runabout, touring sedan, and sedan limousines.

Others will correct my information as necesssry.

Thank you for your reply about my frame. Would like to find some one who could use it. It is in extremely good condition. Came from the high desert in Oregon. Still has some of the lines that were used to oil the bushings, and bumper end brackets. No deep or pitted rust, it will clean up very easily. I could e mail a pic of it if some one is interested.

Please post some pictures. The www is a good way to garner interest.
