But one book says all coupe production stopped in October 1946, not to restart until the 47s emerged in late Spring. My car seems to say different. Anybody have any ideas? The title says 1946, by the way, but the insurance company wanted to say 1947 due to the serial number, however I convinced them otherwise.

Thanks, Dave
