Those dates are real tight Jim. I always wonder how tight the dates are normally. I suppose the more cars built the dates become closer. It's good to be able to converse with the original owner !

Beautiful pic .. The finish on the frame is flat, not at all glossy.

Yup - it was done with a paint roller, not a brush.

John,

Would the frame stencil and pull date markings be any different between a 65 AO Smith car and a St. Louis car

Hey, Jerry!

While there were two body shops (AO Smith and St. Louis), there was only one chassis line (St. Louis)....
