John (JM 35 Sedan) and Zimmco,

With respect, those dates in the Club book and the DeAngelis book are the dates of the manufacture of the engine and transmission, not of the vehicle into which they were installed. Normally that would not occur for weeks, but in some instances months later. Except for big Lincolns of the period, despite exhaustive searches in Ford's archives, no record has been found of the build dates of Ford vehicles.
