Did the assigned motor #'s that start with CA after the star correspond with the US #'s. I found a tudor sedan for sale close to me with a CA59XX four digit motor #. It has a left hand e-brake vertical fluted lenses . That # in the US would be a early Jan. motor. Forgot to check the generator.
Just curious. Perry

Where this tudor is for sale there are a few other cars that have been stored away for many years. LaSalles, Cads, Packard's & Model A's. All from the 20's & 30's. The guy was collecting for his retirement & passed away. Only car that has been sold so far, a 29 Model A rdstr. sold last week. It was put into storage in 1953 with Calif. plates. The guy that bought it came by my place to get some advice. He paid $4500 for the rdstr. It was totally rust free with a flawless body & perfect doors & fenders. I saw several pics of the car. The motor was free but tires, hoses & belt were bad. The cars are being sold by a guy for his aunt. He is out of town for another three weeks. I have seen the early tudor in person & several pics of the other cars. The tudor is the roughest of all the other cars but runs & drives. I would say the tudor is worth half of what they sold the rdstr. for.
