as far as i can tell there is no way to get a build date on a Canadian built model A. The US numbers do not line up at all.
there is some tell tales to give general time frames that is all i could find.
is there a way to get a production date?
i think this car was built in the spring of 1928 just by the features it has ???
the vin is original and is CA8529
it has
-left park brake and no separate e-brake stuff.
-solid front engine mount
-early rear end
-multi disc clutch
-early style throttle monkey motion
all that sort of stuff.
any ideas on the build date?

thanks
OU
