Look at this number again and see if you can read all of it. I can take a guess that your car was assembled in October. We need ALL the data on the plate either on the passengers side of the seat riser or on the plate under the passengers right foot and nailed to the wood.

9 is indeed Norwood (near Cincinnati) OH. Your post looked like you placed Norwood in Arkansas (AR). I also agree that it should be AB and not AR.

I have found three locally owned(Texas)original interior cars with the Car ID plate mounted on the seat on the driver's side. One a 1928 sedan, one a 1928 Phaten and a 1924 Sedan police chief's car.
They were nailed on the wood of the seat, so they may have been moved from the floor to the seat? What do you all think?

All of my cars have the data plate on the seat riser, except for the 1933 coupe. The 33 has the plate under the passengers right foot.

My current understanding is: The cars with a seat riser had the serial number plate nailed there up to the '28s. Those without riser like Coach nailed the plate to the floor. Beginning around 1929 the Fisher Bodied cars had the plate on the floor and "Chevrolet" build bodies still on the seat riser. Don't know the exact date the Roadster and Phaeton had the plate moved to the floor. 1/2 ton trucks also had the serial number plate on the seat riser (if there was one) as late as 1932. On the floor if no seat riser.
I am sure that there are exceptions that will be found to the above and also other opinions. Maybe we can determine a VCCA guideline or standard for placement of serial number plates by year and type or model. Sure would help people who don't know were to look, including the officials.

If you own a 1928 Master Parts Price List,dated February 1, 1928, go to what would be page 4, and at the bottom of the page is the LAW on identification numbers. When I registered my 1st Chevrolet in Washington it was easy to recognize that the Highway Patrol, which had the job of verifying ID #s, were at a loss. After spending an hour while they called every number in the phone book, I interrupted them and said I would withdraw my car for now and went back to the shop and picked up the book named above. When I showed them page 4 their eyes lit up and they ask to copy that page. Each time I bring in another antique car, the Chief Inspector points to the copy on the wall and says every one of his inspectors are now trained. Another tidbit. If you have a closed car, a car built by FISHER, lift up the front seat and on the front board of the riser and on the back side is the signature of FISHER. You will find the Job number, and sequence number for assembly. This information will either be 'burned' in or pressed in. Now you have way too much information.

If you like numbers games follow me on this one. Copy the number you find on the side of the block on the ledge prepared for it. Also copy the date on both the head and block. Now remove the exhaust manifold. Clean the mating surface and look on the head for a number. This number must match the number you collected from the block. If the numbers match the head and block was married at the factory. This does NOT mean that this engine left the factory in this car. Find the assembly date of the vehicle. Compare this date to the dates on the block and head. If logical they say that the engine was probably the one that left the factory in this car.
