1959 Block Casting Numbers

[Tom B.]

From the Judging Manual:

1958 and early 1959:........3737739
late 1958 thru 1960:.........3756519

Does anyone know what was the latest number 1959 car known to use the 739 block and what was the earliest car known to use the 519? My car is a first week of November 1958 built '59.

There's a '59 on e-bay (Item 150384065589) that has a 519 block dated 9/30/58 and stamped 1010CS. car is no. 1017. That must be very close to yours.

Mine is number 881. I'll have to check out that Ebay listing.

As for the join date, I don't know what happened there. Some how it got changed at a renewal. I should look up my original info have have it changed back. You aren't the first one to point this out.
