1931 Serial Number - Engine Number

Fine, now I know....
Thank you all!

Andy the orig serial plate for 8-98 in the space for model was silk screened 8-98 then next line was the serial number stamped yours would have a A prefix and an H suffix for conv sedan then the next line was engine number GU 44031 .Randy

Meanwhile I received some pics, thanks Dave.

One more question:
Meanwhile I received also an example from 1932, in this case the Serial Number consists of 10 digits, f.i.: 8100A1234F (example).

I think, the complete number of my car would be f.i.: 898A1234H ???
H means Phaeton, right? (as Joel told in an older post from 2012)

Andy, I sent you a PM.
Dave

Thanks, Joel, I'd been looking for that information as well.

Thanks, I ?ll double check it.

The plate in the picture in my first post, is this an original plate for the sill?
Is there an additional plate for the body number? If so, could anybody please post a picture of this plate with body number?

Andy


PS: this is my reconditioned engine number plate:

Andy. Check with the fellow you bought the car from ,as the serial and body plates went with the car, and window seals . sn8678 engine # GU44031 Limousine body #L28 1217

Randy, no original plate existing. This is the car in your ownership in the 70ies, later sold to Mike Samson and finally now mine. Do you remember? The car with the original snake skin leather interior.
Possibly you still have a document with the original serial number in your sideboard???
Thanks

Hello I would contact the seller to you of this car and see if he has the orig plates . If not the orig plate which was mounted on the right front sill was made fron zinc silk screened . The ACD co has new old stock 8-98 ones of those . Randy

Andy,
That is correct. 8678 would be the Serial Number

Thanks Joel, this helps a lot.
I found at the frame rail the number 7 6 7 8 (with pretty much space between the digits).
The correct Serial-number would be 8678, right?

Andy,

For non export cars, the Serial Number and Engine number are different.
Again, for non export cars, You should find a series of numbers on the right side frame rail. If looking at the front tire from the side, should be on frame rail towards the rear of the tire. for example, if frame stamped 1234, then the Serial Number will be 1000 added to that number which would make it 2234.

Hello Auburn owners

I wonder if each Auburn in 1931 had a Serial Number and a different Engine Number. And were both numbers stamped in the firewall number plate and in the engine number plate stamped?

My 8-98 has been imported and registered with the engine number. At the engine number plate there was only an Engine Number, but no Serial Number stamped. The number plate looks quite original.

I have also a blank NOS firewall number plate. I would like to stamp this number plate as original as possible. Because my car is registered with the Engine Number, I would have to stamp the Engine Number as a Serial Number in this plate. In this case it looks not very useful to stamp the Engine Number also in this plate. Were these plates originally always stamped with both numbers?





What can I do? I dont have an original Firewall Number Plate or Body Number Plate for this car.


Let me have your thoughts.
Thanks
Andy
