Re: SER1 FS: 86" Body & Chassis in Portland, Oregon

If we want to get pedantic the headlights changed at vehicle numbers
06111547 & 06210312 & 06300031 which is about April 1950 and the bulkhead
lamps changed at vehicle number 16136866 & 16230081 & 16330008 & 16630079
(we don't need consider the RHD vehicles) which is about April or May 1951.

So I guess what I said before about it being a 1950 or 1951 vehicle would be
correct.

Cheers

Hi,
I think it is a early 51. The larger headlights through the grille and it
still has the parking lights on the cowl. The 50 had small headlights and
the later 51 had no cowl lights.

Axl 1951-80 early 51 with cap covers on the cowl lights.
