This car is extremely well documented as being special ordered for a sheriff.
There have been a few theories put forth as to what that number may signify but again, never any documentation via the BFRC.

Post #13 clearly depicts a proper '40 convertible body tag.

You are saying that the number on the tag is the VIN number for that vehicle? The number on the tag is same as stamped into the frame up front starting with 18- for car with 221cubic inch engine or 99- for a car built with the 239 cubic inch Mercury or truck engine? Never saw that before.......40larry
