I have found the engine # cast on the top of the rear of the block.

It looks like B2482 the paint is green, not blue which what I've been told is

the correct color for 1948. The date painted on the firewall in yellow letters is

March 5, 1948. I would very much appreciate any info you might have to share.

As a kid, my family didn't have a car until 1963 when I was 14. We took the bus

or ride our bicycles. Once in awhile got a ride from relatives on holidays or

family gatherings which was a big deal as a child in the '50's !

I always thought I'd like to have an old car to drive around in once I retired.

Well, I jumped the gun by a couple of years last Fall when I got hooked on

the Super Deluxe on the side of the road with a 4 sale sign. The suicide doors

got me.

Now that I'm an old geezer I get to get in my personal time machine (when

it runs) and relive my boyhood dreams! Charlie's Folly
