Re: The 60-A, B, C Fordor Sedans
I found the actual Briggs tag and the number is 190-152007. The engine and frame numbers match. They are : A1410947, which according to the MARC website is April 19, 1929. My gas tank is dated 4-17-29. I have NO idea where the A608013 came from on my pink slip. Thanks, Todd

Re: The 60-A, B, C Fordor Sedans
I realize I never posted pics. Yes the car is pink (exterior house paint over the original done by the family my grandfather sold it to) but you can see the original paint on the firewall and door jambs/dash. It is unrestored but well used over the years first as a daily commute car by my grandfather for over 20 years(!) then as a recreational vehicle and novelty by the neighbor he sold it to down the street. (I bought it back of the son of the neighbor after it sat for 30 years). It has (thankfully) always been garaged, although in PA so its have humid summers. I'm pretty sure its a B from the interior, but it is early as it still has the grip e-brake lever. The aftermarket dash ash tray is interesting (Grampy smoked all his life).
I haven't done anything to the car yet (I have three others that have my attention at the moment), and I'm going to pull the engine and open it up to make sure it looks OK. From the grime build up on the bottom of the engine I am assuming the babbits haven't been checked in forever. I have a new Classtique top for it, and will get a new interior once I have verified all the body wood (so far so good!), Here are a few pics from both where it was stored for 30 years and at my house: My Granfather's 60B Last edited by Lightman7; 01-05-2024 at 05:29 PM. |

Re: The 60-A, B, C Fordor Sedans
Just an FYI to the thread.
I have a Briggs 60C 195-283 The engine is not original and no date on firewall but the firewall is smooth and well painted. The car is a body off restoration. A previous owner must have thought the car was built in 1928 as I have a photo copy of the 1928 license plate. I do not know if the plat is original. The last three numbers seem to imply built before early February 29 based on collected information in this thread. |

Re: The 60-A, B, C Fordor Sedans
I am pretty sure I have a 60-B because:
1. I found black pieces of rotted top: 2. VIN A732913 frame and engine 3. Firewall stamped 12-7-28 4. No cowl vents 5. Seal Brown/Rose Beige Actually had multi-disc clutch Anything else you want to know for your database? I am looking for original interior colors. |

To post #45: Your car is consistent with a late 28 in your description. The single disk clutch was introduced in November of 1928 but Ford used all assemblies before installing new design items. There would have been intermixing due to the amount of assembly plants in that era. |
