If the frame/engine serial number was actually A4360524 (eliminating the 1 & 2 at the beginning), that would be consistent with an engine produced in February of 1931. The slant windshield types started showing up in April or May of 1931 and they can be easily distinguished from the early 1931 models which were basically the continuation of the 1930 models which used a lot of wood, including the subrails. The slant windshield models were an all new concept for Ford in 1931.
