The model # to the left of LB and the sequence # assigned by the body builder when the body was built goes to the right. This is a 34 roadster body tag below.

The body of your car MAY not have been built by LB. In that case there is another tag.

I have a LB repro body tag for my 34 cabriolet.
As an April manufactured (based on chassis number) Californian vehicle what would be an approximate number for the plate? 760LB xxxx?
Thanks

40-700 being a Tudor sedan suggests that it was highly likely Ford built and therefore originally would not have any body number tag.

Hi David,
I am a little confused here where you refer to 40-700 being a Tudor sedan where as I was asking about a cabriolet 40-760?

I did read that initially, what I am looking for is an approximate number after the LB.
It should read 760 LB xxxx?

Graham,


Sorry for the confusion as I was addressing the question that started this thread, as Robert has pointed out. Next time perhaps you might consider starting a new thread when you have a new or different question.


P.S. Notwithstanding, you answered your own question.
