Thanks Katy. Good to know. So it was originally an Oct 21, 1929 engine put on the frame in early 30, I guess. Appreciate the feedback all.

Unfortunately the title has no numbers that reflect anything on the car, so we went with "3" as that matches the body. It's possible it was a "2" and an Oct 21 '29 engine that sat a while, but it's also possible the number is completely "erased" by time, so "3" it is. Appreciate all the help...

Thanks Bali1962. That looks like a Friday at 5 stamping! Wish I could get the chassis up a big higher but don't want to disconnect any more stuff. Already bent the front corner of the frame a little at the bolt. I think I'll go with the "2" That would make it an Oct. 21st engine build, which...

Thanks to everyone who weighed in, also via PM. I can't message back yet. I'm in LA SFV area. Attached are a couple of pix. The end of the e-brake cross-piece, two of the side of the frame where the attachments are, one of the pedal area and lower firewall and more angles of the numbers. Dunno...

Transfering my Dad's Model A title to CA I had to uncover the frame #. The last 6 digits and the star are pretty clear: 505654* but the first digit is confusing. (See pix below) I can only make out the top clearly. Looks like maybe a 2? But it should be a "3" but the fonts for the "3" on Model A...

Thanks. I had some how missed the part in my reading that the exact engine number was stamped on the frame, so this all now makes sense. Got to head back out to the CHP and get the 9 changed to a 3. Wish I'd read better before I dragged it over the first time - although I have to say this...

Thanks Bob. Would there ever have been a 9505654 frame #? (I'm assuming not). And thanks again.

Hi All, I figured it was easiest to piggyback on this thread as I have a similar question. I just raised the chassis (ugh!) to uncover the frame # on what I believe is a 1930 standard Coupe. Most of the number was legible. It appears to be either 9505654* or 3505654* or S5050654* (I think...
