Vehicle id number on title does not have an F prefix.
Engine number indicates a build date between October 4th-29th of 1937.
Glass bug on the one surviving original piece of glass is dated 10-37.
So I’m assuming the car was built sometime during October-November 1937.
The EFV-8 38-39 book states complete number with two stars and prefix is stamped on frame near steering gear support…I’m going to look—but am fairly certain car has replacement frame…
