very early, early and mid-28 steering box number

[frankfalcone]

February 14 1928 2 door sedan number 24981 steering column number 14678. There is no weld seam, one grease fitting on the top. Light switch rod engraved "on-off-dim". No bail or drain hole with knurled cover. The education never stops on these early Fords seems the list of early features is never ending.

Thank you for the help and information.

It's interesting that the steering box, on such an early car, with all the early
features, doesn't have a weld seem. Maybe someone ground / filled the seem
to make it look nicer.
Hopefully the new revision will have a date on the change from the 2 piece
too the one piece steering box. I do have a call into a Senior Judging Standards
member with the question
