You might want to look at chev.oldcarmanualproject.com and another place is clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/chevytalk/gmhistory to find your answer. Vcca#44985

As the author of the latter site I can say that I cannot think of how to find out. You really need the Fisher Body sequential number.

Thank you for the info, but where will I find the "Fisher Body sequential number" and is that different then the "job number". I will start looking on those other sites.

Job No. = Fishere body style

There wi9ll also be a Fisher Body Plant code, with one or two letters, then the sequential production number of that style starting with # 0001 I think and not 1001.

From what i have been told by the 3 VCCA experts of roadsters phaetons 1933--1935 is that they are NOT fisher bodies but were made by chevrolet. The body parts.trunk/rumble lids, shape of quarter panels, dash boards are different than the fisher bodies like my 35 coupe as i am rapidly finding out.
