James, I had conversation with your father about the 28. I have what looks to be maybe a prototype. I posted pictures a few years ago on this post. City bought thru Ford Fleet services a delivery for the dept of public works Milwaukee Wi. I enjoyed discussing our projects with your father...

I restored 1931Victoria about 20 years ago.

I have posted these before and still looking for information. My thinking is the city of Milwaukee Wi order from Ford Fleet Services. a local body co (carry over from Model T days) did the conversion for the city. The frame is early 28 and the motor number is Jan 1929. It did at one time have a...

Hello, I have the delivery conversion that the city of Milwaukee had. I presumed the conversion was a Briggs from a picture in a early Restorer magazine. After seeing the Budd conversion I am not sure. There was also a insert for the window area offered for displaying products. I have not...

It has been said that in the model T days when a customer wanted a truck box on their T (which was crated in a BOX) The Ford Dealer was told to go PICKUP the BOX.

Marco, I did not find a tag. I looked for nail holes under the front seat , found nothing to indicate a tag. I did restore the car in the late 70's. Motor and frame numbers match. Dennis

Added picture of body stamp numbers 1931 Briggs CHI 9358 Thank you for all the information Dennis

It was my understanding there were more open cars sold in Wisconsin and Minn. because it was least expensive. I remember my Grandparents and Uncles all had open cars on the farm.

Tom, does this mean your Tudor was the 17509 Tudor assembled at Twin Cities and your Pheaton was 467 from the start of production.

Thank you Steve. My next thought it may be a Briggs production number and the CHI added during assembly. The CHI letters are not as uniform as 9358 numbers. Thanks again for the information. Just a note my town sedan was probly assembled Nov or Dec 1930.

A question I have deals with production numbers. I have read that the numbers stamped into the body are daily production numbers. For example my 1931 Briggs Town sedan has the number CHI 9358. The numbers 9358 seem like a high daily production. My thought is could it be the 9358 Briggs town...

Thanks for the information. Dennis

Mike: There are no numbers stamped on the stem. I am missing the locking insert. The handle I believe is original to the delivery. The delivery is a mix of 1928 and 1929 parts. Motor is Feb 29. Dennis
