Ken,
What book are you browsing through ???
I would like to get a copy of the book.
Can you tell me if it available ???
Source ? Publisher ? Date of Copyright ? Cost ? Other Info
?

My Vehicle Ser # is 20282 made in October 1952.
I have been told that the Ser # sequence started at 10,000 in August
1952.
How far afield would I be if I were to use 20920282 ???
I know that the ser # is not part of the USA #, but, I think it might be
nice if within the norm.
Comments ???
