Body number

[tribouboys]

Hoping someone could help me decode the body number stamped into the front subframe crossmember of an early 30 Tudor Sedan. S AX 6956 is clearly stamped into the subframe. Does that number provide any clue as to where the body was made ?? Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello, believe some assembly plants stamped coded letters in the sill to mention.Hopefully another Ford Barn member, can identify what plant it refers to ,Ford had around 35 assembly plants in that era . Good luck.

S = SOMERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS (also used letters S-S, SAXC, SAX and SSAX)

Thank you Modela29. The Massachusetts build makes sense because this car has extensive New England history.
