Guest cooksey Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I recently purchased a 1912/13 Metz roadster without title or registration. Does anyone know where the engine number or frame number is located? Is there a s/n list showing year of production?cooksey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Water Jacket Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) While your survivor is much earlier than even the most ancient CCCA Classics, it's wonderful to hear such cars are still accounted for, and many of us would welcome a picture(s) of it. I'm certain someone in the Horseless Carriage Club of America'd be able to help. They're an enthusiastic, genuine bunch.

Guest sayulero Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I recently purchased a 1912/13 Metz roadster without title or registration. Does anyone know where the engine number or frame number is located? Is there a s/n list showing year of production?cookseyI have an engine (disassembled) from a 1912 Metz. Are you interested or do you know of someone who might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hopefully you found your serial number. It's stamped on the left side of the block (steering column side). There is no chassis number in 1912. The 1912 serial numbers began at 15,000. 1913 began at 18,302. Of course, this is assuming the engine is original to the car. The definitive Metz article was written by Franklin B. Tucker (past AACA president) and published in the March-April 1967 issue of Antique Automobile. You can get a copy from the AACA Library. The magazine itself is often on eBay.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
