To date, 31 of the 35 assembly plants have been equated to their letter codes. The digital portion of the number could indicate body style production. Most, but not all, of these numbers contain from one to five letters that denote the specific assembly plant where the car was assembled. Body company tag number information can also be found on the MAFCA website. Also, the size of the stamp used differs from one assembly plant to another.īriggs and Murray bodied cars also had a body company number tag affixed to either the wooden body cross member or firewall. The number can be located anywhere on the cross member and can be oriented to read from driver to passenger side, from passenger to driver side, or from back to front. The body assembly plant number was stamped into the top of the horizontal front body cross member, into the body side rails on the floor board level, or into the wooden cross member on certain body styles such as Cabriolets and Fordors. This study specifically concerns the ID number stamped onto the body at the Ford assembly plant by Ford workers.

This Assembly Plant ID number is different from the engine serial number, different from the Ford Body style number, and different from the body company style number.

I have undertaken a research project to identify the Model A Ford Assembly Plants and their corresponding ID number codes that were stamped onto the bodies of some Model A’s.
