Default Re: deciper 50 number

Jim,

That is the serial number and reveals precious little information. H = 6 cylinder, 0 = 1950, DA = Dearborn assembly plant, and 236132 is the sequence number of production that year at that plant.

If you can find a longer code stamped into the cowl, it will reveal more information, including the color. There will be no information about rear end ratio in either number.

Ken
