Tudor Stamp marks?
Tudor owners ; has anyone ever noticed any stamp marks on inner door or on the floor metal subframe? I do not mean the body number & letter but any other random letter such as a 'B' etc.
Anyone with a stripped Tudor body may be able to help here, thanks. Cheers Tom in NZ. |

Re: Tudor Stamp marks?
I have a stripped 29 Tudor body, in fact I'll be working in it today. I'll be on the lookout. Do you have any more info on what I'm looking for?

Tom,my 30 Tudor front cross member on the drivers side between the driver seat has this stamped 55B 5698 This is a Nov 2018 correspondence with Dave Sturges: Dave Sturges <[email protected]> To:[email protected] Nov 6, 2018 at 3:00 PM Jim, I was going through some of the many submissions on the project I have been looking at for way to many years now. I ran across your submission via the above email address. I am fairly confident that your 1930 Model A with cross member number 55 B 5698 was assembled at the Pittsburgh, PA assembly plant. I was at a car show here in Maryland over the summer and one of the attendees has a 1930 Coupe with the body style classification (45B) as part of the plant stamp like yours. I asked him if he knew the history of his coupe and he said it had been his family all of it's life and he said it was assembled at the Pittsburgh, PA assembly plant. I just wanted to let you know. Regards, Dave

Re: Tudor Stamp marks?
Thanks ; what I am looking for is any random letter stamp on the door metal panel that holds the door latch & window winder. There maybe a B stamp mid panel. Also , on floor cross piece that front seat legs attach, there maybe a letter about mid way.
Jim, thanks for that. That is the body plant number but the 55B prefix is unusual ; I have had some contact with Dave Sturges in the past. I am seeking info on who stamped Tudor panels which I believe was Budd. This is not to be confused with the various assemblers of bodies for Ford. Cheers Tom in NZ. |

Re: Tudor Stamp marks?
My 30 Tudor is stripped inside and I remember seeing something stamped in the cross member in front of the driver seat. Next trip to the garage I'll check again and look at the door also.

That is the factory & body number. The letters will tell which factory if you are in US or Canada. If you live in Aust. the '31 Tudor did not originate there & did they do a Tudor in USSR? Probably, forgetting to pay back Henry his loans. Cheers Tom. |

Actually, a couple of dozen Tudors were made in the USSR, but my car is a USA made one. Is there a list where I can check what factory the "AX" code stands for?
