Hey Larry, Just attempting to be certain you and I are talking about the same thing.
That tag, as V8Coopman recalled correctly, is the serial number of that car.
I have never been able to glean any information about that tag / serial number.
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.
