1932 roadster - no S/N

[PeteVS]

My '32 has the serial number just in front of the firewall (it matches the title, with the stars fore and aft) but it took a lot to see it. At first there appeared to be nothing there. But, with some (sort of a lot) of wire brushing, it came up. Very difficult to make out, but if one studies it, it's there. New Jersey DMV wanted a pencil rubbing or photo. Took a lot of images to get one that was really readable. Was never able to find the one on the rear frame kick up. I'm assuming that the body welting strip held moisture over that spot and it's gone.
