I emailed the roster keeper for 29 626 his email does not work and phone number dose not work. So I emailed 1928 526 roster keeper to see if the person had moved or if there is a new roster keeper for 29 626

I emailed the roster keeper for 29 626 his email does not work and phone number dose not work.

Thanks for noting that, I've notified PAC about the problem. It's possible the position is currently vacant, several roster keepers have passed away or are otherwise not able to continue and I'm sure it's not always easy to find someone willing assume the task.

Would you be so kind as to provide the theft-proof number for your car, and the motor number as well if possible. The theft-proof # is the large embossed number (6 digits) on the cowl with a bracket at each end. The motor number should be on the front left (driver side) motor support leg.

The interpretation of the round tag should be correct. I worked on Harrah cars that had the round tag underhood.

here are pictures of the left front motor mount number 249598. and pictures of the firewall number 023117

The round tag with number 72 is not under the hood it is located in the golf club door jam about 4 inches away from the body number tag

Thanks for the theft-proof and motor numbers, is the original patent plate (VN# plate) still on the car? If so that number would also be useful to further understanding the 1929 production.

Here is the vin 249169 the bottom line says UCD

Thanks. I don't have a lot of 1929 data but the numbers all seem to match up pretty well with the other vehicles and place your car at about 40% of the way thru the production run.
