Default Re: How rare is an "August" spare tire cover for 1936 ?

Mike,


I guess we should be thankful that at least the engine build dates were recorded and saved for posterity. When you give the subject of vehicle build dates relative to engine build dates some thought, it soon becomes obvious that would have been a herculean task given that with only two engine manufacturing locations and upwards of thirty destinations for those engines with two as near as next door in the case of Dearborn and Walkerville and others as far away as Buenos Aires, New Delhi, Istanbul, Geelong (Melbourne), and Yokohama, for example, with shipping by not-all-that-fast rail or slower yet, ship. All things considered, I am not surprised that they did not bother, at least so it seems.

I remain hopeful that Don has the release date for the second '36 spare tire cover as well as its application(s) and will enlighten us.
