So apparently there was a stockpile of Victorias available for their initial sales release. So the frame number on your car should be an indicator of when it was assembled at a Ford plant, but no earlier than 1930. Also, the Victoria's frame is unique because it has brackets for that body style.

Bob, this frame is from a Sport Coupe. I bought it last summer. I still have the Victoria..
