Also, when I bought the car, somebody had a 1930 model a plate holder on it. Is there anyway for me to tell if the car is actually a 28? Frame numbers or body numbers?

Yes there is...Get the MARC/MAFCA Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards and you can quickly figure out if you have a 28, 29, 30 or 31 Model A Ford.

I do not think that Canadian built Model A/AA vehicles had frame numbers but could be wrong on that fact.
