Mike,

With respect, I seriously doubt AE stands for assembled early. How would the State of California know that, even if it were true? In fact, no four-cylinder passenger cars were produced until more than a month after the vehicle Job #1 of the 1932 model year on March 10th, despite more than 40,000 four-cylinder engine-transmission assemblies having already been manufactured. It was all about the new V8 and everything was put on hold until production versions of it became available commencing on March 7th.
