I did see a chalk? number on the wood on the bottom seat cushion, 139 or 159. No idea if that has any significance. It has been repainted and reupholstered at some time in its previous life. The paint has held up quite well. No idea what happened to the original engine and trans.

The number is stamped on the left frame rail, just about where the cowl bolts to the frame. There should be a number stamped (IF it was V8 Car) 18-### or *18-###*. That would be the "First" indicator of an "early" car as you have stated yours to be.
