I inherited a model A which I'm in the process of restoring. The title says it's a 1930 model, but I really have no history of it. The engine serial number indicates it was built in February of 1931. But the radiator and front fenders appear to show it was made in 1930. I'm wondering if this is normal or if maybe a 1931 engine was added later. I've checked for the body serial number but it's either vanished or was never there. Is there a data base somewhere that can look up the information of your car build by serial number? Has anyone else ran into this situation?
