C4engr Senior Member Jul 22, 2012 #1 I have a 1930 Fordor with Engine # RF7428. Does anyone know what the RF in the serial number means?

C4engr Senior Member Jul 22, 2012 #5 Thanks folks for the input. Now I believe I have a legitamit block numbering. I have found the diamond as referenced in link from BOB C.
