Westfalia Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 May somebody help, what is the production year (1922 or earlier) of Oakland with serial number of 16320? Engine is 6-cylinder, 32hp. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 According to page 288 of the "Standard Catalogue of Pontiac" 16320 would be pre 1918 which starts at 35001. There is a gap in their numbers. 1912 ends at 11500 and they list nothing else until 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 According to my copy of The Serial Number Book for US Cars 1900-1975, the Oakland serial numbers from 1914 on all have six or seven digits. From 1917 on the last two digits appear to be the model eg 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfalia Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'm really confused... The car number is 16320 in registration papers, but 90239 in the bill of sale, both 5 digit numbers. However, it's older than 1922, when it was registered first time. The car was bought 1/28/1920 so if it was new, it was probably made in 1919. But I don't know was it new...

Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 You need to remember that many States used the engine number on registration forms. Is one of these numbers the engine number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
