Default Re: 1940 Ford convertible body tags

Terry<OH has kindly shared a photo of a tag found on a convertible.

It is more than apparent that Ford tagged "some" wagons and "some" convertibles. There appears to have been variations in the style / format of those tags. Still to be determined is when were these tags utilized and why on some vehicles and not others.

In post #40, Terry makes a very valid point in regard to outside suppliers of bodies. However, at least from my research, (only) Ford was making the bodies by 1940.

Hi Yours looks in much better shape than the one I bought. Mine has been a 2 year nightmare and still going. please keep in touch and let me know your progress. I would be happy to send you any pics of my progress but mine is a restomod with a brand new Chevy drive train. Ive had no reference where anything goes because mine has a new floor and firewall with no holes so Ive had to do my own figuring with some help from guys on here especially Kube.
