Not uncommon to renumber and sell leftovers from one year to another, especially by makers with lower production numbers. I know it was done up into the 1960s

Auburn has been known to re badge the previous model year and sell them as current. It is really a 27 sold as a 28.

Hello,

one last question. The 666A was only build in 1927. Could it be, that some cars were finished in 1928? I found this post at ACD-forum, and there are some 6-66 starts with serial number in 1928.

Thanks Randy. Did Central start with 101 all the way thru 1936?

I think C-7 is the body style and 296 is the sequence number of that body style. Randy, correct me if I am wrong here !

Hello. The orig serial plate was on the firewall in the inside of the car above the gas pedal. If there is a frame number on a left hand drive car it is on the right frame rail usually around the holes for a right hand drive steering gear. All that being said it may not have a stamped frame number. Good luck let me know what you find. R
