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

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/05/04]

Simon-

My 1957  107SW was built on finished on November 4th, 1956 but most of the
date stamps are from 6/56 including wheels, axles, transmission and Engine.
I wonder how long they stock piled parts before a build.  So a June 1951
build for your 80" might be a long shot... Just a guess of course.
