Roadster Pickup, A400, VIN Number
 

Just a few of my un-favorite things.


Ford never called the Open Pickup a Roadster Pickup (look up the term Roadster)


The Convertible Sedan body number was 400-A not A400.


VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number. VIN Number would be Vehicle Identification Number NUMBER.


If only I were less picky.

If those are your only concerns, life must be treating you very well.
You are very fortunate. Wayne

Bob are you currently making parts for the A400 or 400A?

Bob,
I sell titles on the side, as I collect them. Youngsters always asking for rpu titles......

I explain they never said that. some get it and many dont. LOL

they usually just say truck or box.

Oh this could go on forever!! About 5 years ago I went down this road of folks using incorrect nomenclature that always makes it a struggle when people are asking questions. To take this topic a little further, go have a look at THIS thread.

You forgot to mention the use of AR. I feel your angst, but the hobby jargon is not going to change no matter how hard you try!
