107494-- DOD 1-16-42-- body number 10035--
I love to bring these old heroes back to life to live another 60+ years of an easier life. Also looking for old Fords and Chevys to bring back to life.

Smelt;
My Slat Grill is #111414, body # 15203...so ours are very close (serial numbers are only 56 units apart...and our tubs are 43 units apart)! The best guess on my DoD is 1-13-42. There are some near mine that are delivered on the 13th so I went with that. It could be as late as the 16th.

Found located across the street from the Jefferson proving ground in Indiana also opened in 1941-1995. Makes me believe it could have spent its whole life in the town.

Frame tag 101559
Production 12-2-1941

Very happy and fortunate every time I find a rare piece of history.

Dash tag 101558
Frame tag 101559
Is one of those a typo? The Dash tag and Frame tag should be the same unless the body was swapped out at some point.
Thanks,
Andy
