And it was built in Windsor, Ontario.What is on the tag on the firewall?What number is on the title?The engine number is stamped on the left side of the frame above the front spring (usually the rear hanger). If you have the engine, the engine number should be on the left side of the block at the front. The 1933 and 1934 cars had the serial number plate attached to the B pillar as they had "suicide" front doors and the B pillar was the hinge pillar. Cars with the hinges for the front doors mounted on the A pillar, the serial number plate was mounted on the A pillar.BillVancouver, BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Mcclymont Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Thanks to those who took the time to reply... The doors are mounted suicide...and the serial # tag is on the pass side B pillar.Numbers (stamped) on the firewall tag are 246 and PEBCPEThe VIN listed on the ownership has 17 characters and starts with ASDO2.....and given as model PDB.I would assume that the car is too far gon for a restoration (missing fenders, R/Boards and grille) do have the hood/sides tho.Thanks again.Ash...

Originally the tag was black with "Model No", "Body No", etc., on it. The number on the title appears to be a number issued by some state or provincial motor vehicle department. Probably did not know where to look for the serial number on the car or did not accept the fact it could be less than 17 digits in length.

A Mcclymont Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Bill,Thanks again for the info....The body is definitely a 34 (per dash layout & serial)Unfortunately, the ownership/title shows 1933...Hate to get rid of it, but other projects and lack of space require it gone....
