Took the body off a 1928 yesterday to see the chassis number for the first time since it was stamped. I'm sure the owner will be happy to know it matches the engine number, a March built car, but I couldn't see a gas tank date stamped in it. Bob

Tanks weren't yet being stamped in March 1928.

Thanks Tom, have a Happy New Year! Bob

Tom, where would you find the tank stamp on a September 1930 Model A pickup?

Charles Coe · 12-31-2014, 08:34 PM

30 models did not have gas tank date stamps.

My late 29 roadster I had (now owned by Kartknut) had no date stamp on the tank, that was discontinued in late 29 before the 30's came out.

So the # is between 36017 & 67700, if you would have listed the # we could have told you when it was build right down to the day the engine was built, And it would not have a tank date on it..

Tom, thanks for that info about the tank stamps. My March 28 sport coupe tank isn't stamped either. I have wondered why for a long time!
