1928 to 1931 Ford Model 'A'.
From a post, in part, from Ford Expeditions C.O.P. #3 Misfire...
"Additionally I have a 1930 Ford Model 'A' 40-B [standard not Deluxe] Roadster. All 5,300 pieces have been R&R by me. She is an everyday runner in the summer. Had it since 1980.
The 'Vin' # is the engine number which equates to 12-February-1929. Not surprising since O'Henry Ford usually kept most of his inventory rolling around the country on railroad train cars. It was assembled in Atlanta, Georgia. Dates of assembly were kept numerically by the month and year. Based on cars made per day and per a specific week, this guy was built, best guess, on March 17, 1930. This was the year of BIG decline for the Model 'A'. It's the depression which was never more than a true 10%. Unlike today's made up 11%+ which is really about 15.6%+."
