VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION New User Forum 1929 Chev build data

First post .... appologises in advance
1929 6cy in Queensland Australia fully restored to beginning of sheet metal bits.
It comes with all Roadster panels some in duplicate.
Is there any way to tell how this car was delivered in Australia.
I have not found a chassis number or a body number which i expect would have been fixed to timber frame.

Probably due to Commonwealth trade restrictions your car came from Canada. it would have either been delivered as a CKD (completely knocked down) body and chassis or as a chassis only and a body built by Holden installed there. I am unfamiliar where body tag would have been on the Roadster body as it was not made by Fisher. Fisher bodies had a tag on the cowl with body style and number and the car number was on a plate nailed to the sill near the passenger side of seat. Holden bodies had differences in the sheet metal and wood framing. Pictures would help.

Welcome to Chatter
As cabboy suggested your car had 3 methods of entry CKD packed into a box, as a powered rolling chassis and some did come as a complete driving car. If it came as a rolling chassis the body would most likely have been built in South Australia and a tag on the upper left of the cowl with all the relevant numbers and may well have a small oval on the outside just forward of the front corner of the left front door.
On later models at least a number was stamped into the chassis side face near where the LHD steering box pokes through.

Hi Kevtmba,
Your car if it is a Holden body should have two rectangular aluminium body tags nailed to the floor in front of the passenger seat with the body number and the job number stamped into one and a series of numbers and letters stamped in the other, there would be another larger rectangular plate on the side of the drivers seat with the chassis number stamped in it and the series, in your case AC and General Motors Australia along the bottom.
The body builders badge was rectangular not oval with a lion facing forward and Holden in block letters along the bottom and was at the bottom of the left or passenger side of the cowl.
