nzcarnerd Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Photos would help. What is the wheelbase in inches? There should be a body number plate on the firewall. As far as I know there are no detailed production records surviving, only model totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a very similar post over on Facebook and it turned out to be a 33 Commander, I wonder if it is the same ? I'm curious too. It would be 'close enough' to what I'm working on for some info I need.... I have tons of questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
