Did Ford manufacture 1934 'open' cars itself?
I ask this question as I was reading the 1935-1936 Ford Restoration manual and it states that in these years other body manufacturers ie: Briggs etc made them for Ford. Also I've often wondered what the 'LB' stands for on the small model # plate on the firewall.

'LB' stands for LeBaron as in the LeBaron Division of the Murray Co. All of the '33-'34 open cars' bodies (and some of the closed car bodies as well along with all of the truck bodies) were manufactured by outside suppliers.

I think it has been pretty well established that if a EFV8 has a body tag on the firewall, the basic body shell was out-sourced from various vendors in lieu of being a Ford built body.
