Date of Manufacture GPA 9398

Post by richardfs » Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:42 pm

My data plates are damaged on GPA 9398.

Can any one tell me the date of manufacture for this vehicle.

Thank you

Best regards
Richard

Richard, Tom Wolboldt tells me that your engine was built Monday March 1 or Tuesday March 2, 1943 in Dearborn Michigan. I think a good guess would be Friday March 5, 1943. The stampings are 3/32
