John; Welcome to Fordbarn and the Model A community. There are lots of people here to help you. BTW, your Coupe looks like a great find. Have you run the engine yet? As others have stated, I would get it roadworthy, safetied, titled and just drive it for a while to see what it really needs.
The link below will lead you to some information about the number you found on the cross member. Generally speaking it tells you where the car was assembled (sometimes), the Model and when it was assembled. Somewhat confusing, but great information which I think took a lot of work to put together.
