1935 Letter from Duesenberg

Posting for West Peterson.

The letter was written March 26, 1935 from Duesenberg Service Manager F.W. Gray. He, too, told the car's owner that the serial number wasn't correct. In any event, the owner of that particular Model A Duesenberg at the time was
Mr. Joseph W. Dow
National Recovery Administration
Regional Office No. 1
80 Federal St., Room 635
Boston Mass.

NOS fenders for $7.

Randy, I'll e-mail a copy of the parts list and letter to you.

West. I would love to see anything you find. Best Randy

Thanks, Randy. When I receive the letter, I'll update you with who owned the car in 1935. Also with the letter is a price list of all Duesenberg Model A parts available at the time. Are you interested in seeing that, or do you have one?

West . The numbers have been changed from letters it should read Fed co # D63Y serial number and 1632 engine number a touring car last known to belong to a S Trachman in Mass in 1930. One of the last cars built. Randy

West, for what's it worth, I don't have any record of a car with that engine number existing. I agree that the chassis number is wonky. Looking forward to hearing more.

Once I receive a copy of the letter, I'll double check the chassis number.
Thanks for the info.

Following Fred Roes Book Model-A chassis numbers starts from 600 up to 1200, engine numbers from 1100 up to 1649.

An AACA member is sending me a letter from the Duesenberg company that was in reply to an owner requesting information about parts for his Model A Duesenberg.
The chassis number of the car was given as 2632, and the engine number was given as 1632.

1. Is it known if this car still exists?
2. Were chassis and engine numbers of the Model A usually that similar?
