Need help interpreting the stenciled markings on my '31 Sedan. The date 5/28/31 is readily visible which is about the time the vehicle was built. But not sure what the AOS means. And there are some other illegible markings after the date. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

"AOS" stands for AO Smith Corporation (Arthur Oliver Smith) and they made automobile frames for Peerless, Ford, General Motors and etc., along with many other products as well. The company is still in business today manufacturing hot water heaters.

Thanks again. I was able to make out the rest of the markings after a little scotch brite and wetting it with rubbing alcohol. I believe it reads: AOS 5/28/31 N-4 SP
