I lean towards that thinking too. Our '28 Roadster was a September build at Twin Cities and seems like the body build code was 'TC527' I'm going from memory here. That makes sense because I'm SURE most body styles being built in Minnesota weren't necessarily open top cars. Brrrr. So I know, as big as Twin Cities was, they hadn't only built 526 Model A's up to September!!

Mr J welcome to Model A's and it sounds like you have a pretty neat one with a neat history. You have a good handle on the car already. The reason for all the grease in your cooling system is people pumping chassis grease, a lot of it, into the water pump zirk. Get some 'water pump grease' from the suppliers and a different grease gun for that purpose. Makes all the difference brudder.

Keep us posted on your Model A
