model a sereal number location

The engine # is one the left side of the block just below the head halfway between front and back. Frame # is on top of left frame rail below the cowl.
 
You have to remove the body and left side splash apron to be able to see the frame number. Gar Williams

richard,
This is an interesting question and seems to be a source of confusion over the years. I've seen any number of threads , over the years, that say that you have to 'look under the cowl' and 'splash apron' on/on!
I have actually taken my original '30 roadster apart body off frame. My frame number is very close to that illustrated in #4 of older thread alluded to by Tommy here. You will notice that frame number in #4 in under and near the rear hood hold down frame brace LEFT SIDE under the left front FENDER ! My actual frame number is three (3) inches forward of #4.
Due to this factual information, I've asked in the past threads about whether anyone could say/document that FORD employees stamped frame numbers...at differing locations (i.e.-splash apron/cowl and forward of cowl) depending on criteria that Ford issued/had for stamping frame numbers...no responses:confused:
BTW- During past similar discussions, NO ONE has ever posted a picture of frame number which showed that it was under splash apron/cowl..go figure!
