Was your Model A built in Jacksonville?
oh boy. just what I need, another project to distract me.
today we confirmed the identity of another Model A assembled at the Jacksonville plant. that's only 5 that I have personal knowledge of. 4 here in town and a 5th in WV. so, I have decided to start a registry of Jacksonville-assembled cars. (good Lord, are we getting as statistics-obsessed as baseball fans?) our local club's webmaster has agreed to make it accessible on the Jacksonville Model As web page. if you have a Jacksonville car, please send me the following: your name your city & state year & body style of your car photo of car (optional but desirable) I'll announce here when it is posted on the web page. jaxmodela.com for more information about assembly plant numbers, including where to find them, go here: http://www.modelarestorers.org/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=58&Itemi d=427 Last edited by Chris in WNC; 10-16-2010 at 06:15 PM.

Re: Was your Model A built in Jacksonville?
Hi Chris, My 1929 Std. Coupe was made in Jacksonville and sold in Miami. My car spent her life in the Miami area except for 3-4 years in Ohio in the 1950's. I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia and my name is Tim Adair.

Maybe another dumb question, but how do you tell?

Look at the cross member under the floor board in front of the front seat, there should be a stamping and a number

Re: Was your Model A built in Jacksonville?
I'm pretty sure the body number is the number built so far for that body style because I also have a 9-27-28 Phaeton that is TC and a very low number. Not many people wanted an open car in a cold state. My 2-23-29 Tudor has a body number TC and a quite high number.
