Original point of sale?
Does anybody know if there is a way to find out where a specific model a was originally sold by searching the vin number? I found that the henry ford museum used to have these files but it seems they got destroyed in a fire. Has anyone found another way or are we all out of luck? I cant help but wonder the storys these cars could tell.

Steve Plucker did a study on the Dealership Bills of Sales. These documents might hold the answer to your quest. You can read about Pluck's study in this article that he wrote in the May/June 2016 issue of The Restorer:

https://www.mafca.com/data_assembly.html Just because I am a little OCD. It is NOT VIN number. VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number. So VIN Number would be Vehicle Identification Number Number. Also VINs first started in the 1950s. The Model A only has an Engine number which was stamped on the engine and when the engine was mounted in a frame the same number was stamped on the frame. Picky Bob |
