Can't identify my Briggs number
 

Hi,
on my Briggs-Fordor 3-window, I have a Briggs-plate with the number 3732942.

I never found anything about such a number.

What type of car do I have

Thanks for help

If you are referring to your avatar, then you have a 155D for a townsedan. Not sure of the standard body#.

If your car was imported into Switzerland from another country
they might have used that as a Vin tag to match the details on the Title or Paperwork

I think, the title or title number is not important, it's from Denmark.
There is only the Briggs number 3732942.

But: Do you think, I can find any other number on the car ? Till now, I have only seen this Briggs-Plate and the engine number.

Check under the floor mat on front passenger side body frame next to the door sill. That the location of the body tag on my '29 Briggs TS.

Number also on the frame.

Re: Can't identify my Briggs number
 

Is it possible that engine #3732942 was in the car originally when registered and then was changed later on before you got the car? That happens here a lot, even my car is registered that way. Unfortunately, the only way to find the correct number is to raise the body off of the frame and check there.

I bet that is the original engine and frame number , Sounds right for your car year ,
The engiine number you have now is a 1929 number .

This often happens Ford in the UK had a policy "Drive in the Dealership in the morning and come out in the afternoon with a exchange rebuilt engine"
