I have a friend who has approximately 20 invoices of T's sold through Auto Service Company of Copas, MN. He allowed me to make copies. Hopefully someone will have one of these cars. Most all list the name of the original purchaser of the cars. Some invoices have two or three cars listed on them. Here is a picture of one of the invoices.
Here are the serial numbers of the invoices I have:
4042906 Touring
4021430 Touring
4044107 Roadster
4061694 Coupelet (starter and clincher rims!)
4088349 Coupe
4149749 Coupelet
4136099 Touring
4167055 Runabout
3956061 Runabout
3956071 Touring
3731131 Sedan
3759731 Roadster
3761011 Touring
3755286 Touring
3385132 Touring
3434507 Runabout
3416583 Touring
3361714 Touring
3314863 Runabout
3244780 Touring
3231066 Touring
3376398 Touring
3534732 Coupelet
3832855 Touring
3806237 Touring
3833021 Coupelet
I guess I have 26 all together. All open cars were listed as being equipped with starters. Some state demountable rims. If anyone out there can match one of these numbers with their car I will gladly send a copy of the invoice to you.

Jeff, Nice of you to help out with the invoices. My 1919 Touring originally bought in Michigan is only 203 cars off one of your invoices!

It would be nice if you could list the ship date as it gives a clue as to how long after the motors were made and the time the motor was installed
 
Ron, that appears to be an evening project that I will do this coming winter. I checked the illustrated invoice; casting date on motor 6/12/1920. The car was likely assembled at the Minneapolis MN assembly plant and was subsequently shipped from their stock on 7/10/1920. There is your time lapse. When I research the rest of the invoices I will post the data here. It will be interesting to compare. Thanks for your interest!
