Ken,

I suggest you post this on the Buick forum to get lots of help.

Dear Ken:

If you post the numbers on the body plate here, I can decode it for you. Also, please post the engine number (small machined surface near lower right rear of engine block) and the frame number (small plate mounted on frame rail straight down from body plate)(and tough to see behind the battery tray)

Those numbers will tell me when and where your car was built, which I'll share.

Regards, Dave Corbin

In regards to how many were built, Buick built 22,312 Model 47's in 1937 plus 205 Model 47's for export.

Ken,

I just picked up a bunch of misc. parts that came off of a 1937 4-door. I have the tail-light assemblies and the trunk light/handle assembly. If you are interested, contact me at stephensonld@comcast.net.
