1931 Sedan. Has the later single bar bumper so probably assembled after April 1.

Thanks. The bumper was what confused me. I thought they were all two-bar bumpers.

A little education on early bumpers. The bumpers were accessories not standard equipment in the early years. Many have at least two types or designs. 1931 had what a two bar front and rear shown in the early edition of the accessory booklet. Later a wider single bar also shown in the accessory book published during the production year. In addition there were two types of rear bumpers in dual and single bar designs. Two shorter "fender guards" for the vehicles with rear mounted spare tires and a longer (goes all the way across the back) for fender mounted spare tire(s) vehicles. Vehicles with fender mounted spares could also use the two shorter types. At that time all bumpers were supplied to the customer and installed by a dealer.
FYI 1927 through 1931 each model year had at least two bumper versions. In addition there were aftermarket bumpers available.
