1934 Ford 4 Dr , Body Number

[Rustyspokes]

I have a Tag for a body number, what numbers do I put on the tag, I was reviewing an ad for a 34 sedan the same as mine and his numbers were 730-LB -11134 are these correct and what do the numbers represent, thanks for your help.. R.

730 = De Luxe Fordor

If it is a body number plate, then it would be a body number plate (tag) that was placed there by one of the companies that manufactured Ford bodies. Ford built bodies had no body number tag/plate. Bodies manufactured for Ford by Murray, Briggs, Budd, etc, did have body number plate/tag.

11134 = 11,134th body produced by that company for that year.

I am guessing that information concerning body number plates could be found in the Ford Club's 1934 Ford Book.
Good luck.

Does your car have existing holes for the tag? Is the car of Canadian build? If no holes the car MAY NOT take a tag (body built by Ford) If Canadian built the tag would be different. Check the frame serial number to see if it is Canadian built.
