The following are confirmed known cars/engines all built at the Rouge in November 1927 and December 1 and 2, 1927. They are listed in the order of engine release to final assembly per the Engine Shop Foreman's Log. All engines were stamped consecutively but not released in order. An interesting example is engine A1. It was not released until November 1, the 46th engine sent to the line. This log was found by George DeAngelis some years ago.

A241, A354, A435, A633, A566, A495, A616, A189, A680, A423, A714, A729, A745, A751, A852, A860, A973, A797 and A873. One truck, AA36 is also known.

There are currently two other unconfirmed three digit cars that have been reported. Additionally, chassis A217 was found without an engine.

If anybody is aware of any other engines/cars would you please post it.
A photo of the engine number is required to eventually confirm it.
