The Ford Barn

I have an opportunity to buy a special coupe that the engine number says it is an extremely late Nov 28 (almost like the last number) but it is titled as a 29. Was this a common practice like it is now? I have a car that I bought in the summer of 2008 and it is titled as a 2009.

Which radiator shell would it have?

It has the cut down front cross member for the later front motor mount and a mixture of running board braces.

Another weird thing is the center cross member has some holes that makes it appear like the frame was slated for RH drive.

I have known this car since the 70's and know it was bought by my friends great aunt in the very early 30's. It has 42,000 actually miles but is in pieces.
