Just brought home, USA 0360 522. Dated Nov 21, 1942. Needs a little bit of everything to be brought back but it's safe now.
thank you!

you wikl be happy to know that you have the OLDEST Converto in my list!

my compliments!!

I was perusing my http://1942willys.homestead.com/Converto-0360xxx.html photos and found that this is a trailer that could precede the USA 0360 522 but unfortunately my old eyes cannot decipher the number. It appears to be 0360 (?)28 but I can't be sure. Maybe someone with great computer skills could figure out what the mystery number is. Send me a PM for the actual photos or click the above link. These two were attempts by me to adjust them so that I could try to decipher the digits and they didn't do so well.

Hello,

It looks like 528 are the last 3 digits, making it close,
but it looks like Bobby's is still the oldest known Converto :D :D :D

It would be good if the owner could post a clear picture to verify the hard to determine numbers.

I recently also bought a Converto, no data tag, not much paint, except an area with the USA number under it on one side of the trailer.
I assume that USA number is the same as the serial number, that is stamped on the data plate.

Once I get to working on the trailer, I will finish uncovering it to find the number to post here.

Best Regards,
Ray

Hi all. Just picked up Converto serial number (0)878100 to pull behind my 1947 Willys. I'm a new member living in Eastern Washington State.Trailer is in great shat - only one small dent, no rust holes. Just need to find some 16 inch wheels for NDT tires and a replacement lunette ring.
everything else is there.

Just picked up a Converto. I have a thing for two wheeled stuff. My plan for the next few winters is use it to landscape my yard.

Looks like some type of modification on the axle.
