My 39 deluxe sedan has a stamping under the voltage regulator: 14C 102 CHE. Would love to know its meaning.

Those stampings, deep into the dash, remain a mystery of sorts. They are thought to be some sort of identifying sequence of the factory location / build.
They are so rare and as far as I know, no logical sequence to them, well, sadly, I don't believe we will ever be able to clarify exactly what they were for.
