1 = Flint Michigan assembly plant
CA = 1933 Master or Eagle
12 = December production
3363 = sequential assembly number
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Because it has a December production date, would it not be an Eagle?

Bill,
Yes it would have been built as an Eagle with the roll-up vent windows and other differences. Included "Master" in my post because that is what many people call them. In hindsight I should have put "(Master)" after Eagle in my post. Glad someone is awake this morning.

1933 production began in Dec. 1932 so i probably is an Eagle.
The door vent window divider bar rolled down with the glass on the Eagle and was stationary with the Master.
The winder handle for the vent in the Ealle had no knob and the Master had a knob matched the big window handle.

This is great ! Thank you 🤟 what is the best modern front end to put on the chassis and is there a better chassis to put under it ? I really would like to just build off of the original chassis.

Well...
Probably most here would say that the best front end and chassis to have under your '33 is the one that is there right now.
The real charm in an old Chevrolet is that it feels and drives like an old Chevrolet.
When I'm out there in my '46, I want it to feel like a '46, not just another Silverado. And I adjust my driving to reflect any "shortcomings" in comparison to modern vehicles.
I hope I haven't offended you, don't mean to.
Just my own thoughts.
And of course it's your car, and yours to do with as you please. :-)
