812 Beverly

Hi Vince,

engine FB.... means non-supercharged. FC.... would be supercharged. Bodytype C-105 is a "custom Beverly" with long 132" wheelbase. Wheelbase can also be seen easily from the number of louvres at the hood (8=132"="custom" , 7=125"). Most customs are "Custom Beverly" and very few "Custom Berline" (with chauffeur divider window between front and rear).

Don't know when exactly your car was built (others can estimate this from the serial no), basically the 812 always is the official 1937 "model year". But there where some unsold and renumbered 810s and (as far as I remember) 812 production anyway started in late 1936. I'm sure others have more details for your car at hand.

Regards
Kay
