By chance...what is the engine/frame number?
If the frame number matches this engine number...then to my knowledge, it would be the FIRST originally assembled Model A Ford that is known to have such an engine installed into it when originally assembled in 1928.
Also gas tank date and assembly plant code and number?
Is this "29 Coupe" a Special Coupe or Standard Coupe? By the looks of the photo, it is a Standard Coupe.
Are you sure it is not a 1928 Standard Coupe?
Thanks.

When I have some time I'll get over there and inspect for the gas tank and assembly plant data.
We're just going off of the title info and what we were told. The engine number does match the title, but we haven't lifted the body to match the frame. "Fingers crossed"
Anyways here are some more pictures. How do we identify the year for sure besides the frame number? It does have the early style front frame/engine mount bolted straight to the block. Is that 28 only? I don't know it that is relevant.
