Firewall date code location

I do not understand your question on this ; if it is a 1928, must be Oct. 13th 1928?
Re being a Saturday, I think you will find it would have been a normal work day, especially if in the morning. They had rotating shifts at the car plants. These days, we also have gone right back to working everyday & all night like before the 40 hour work week?

There is no dashes and no year, is that normal or is it a code for something else.

I have personally seen tanks without the dashes as well with them...Also tanks where the numbers were not present.

I am also thinking that your tank was stamped 10 13 (28) October 13, 1928.

Rootbeer floats is the best drink. I never gave it a thought about the date.
Hope to be still driving it when I'm 85.
