Paul, what is the number after the "T"? I found it stamped on the three cars I have done and also written in chalk on the backs of the seats. I later found out it was the date and the number of the vehicle on the assembly line...it is how the interiors were coordinated into the cars. "T" might stand for Toronto. Marco's statements are correct...I can speak to the Brigg's body tags which had the name of the company etched in the bottom of the tag as shown on Peter's 180A Phaeton at Hershey this past week.
