Re: Searching for body codes
Assuming it was the same system as every other plant, the number is the number of the body built at that plant. So that was the 3061st Tudor built in that plant

Re: Windshield frame removal
Tried this on mine and could not in any way budge those screws. Ended up sliding frame out of the hinge. I am wondering if the screws were painted in place. Thoughts on getting these out?
