Matching numbers
I have a 1930 coupe that I bought last spring at a nearby swap meet in SC. Such a well preserved car only patch panel is in the rear tire well area. After checking closely all 3 VIN numbers match. The title, engine block and upper rail frame numbers all match. Is it safe to say I have the original engine?

Re: Matching numbers
I'd have to say yes! I have a 1930 Delux Delivery with matching numbers. It came from the Henry Ford Museum. With a Certification from Benson Research center. It was used for the Audio/visual department around campus. Have you done a background check on ownership yet?

Re: Matching numbers
Gary, how would one do this? "Have you done a background check on ownership yet?"
