That looks like the number from here. WAY to go. That would make it a possible Dec. 1916 build according to Myers catalog. Would be correct with Delco, should have glove box. Now if you get the design changes from the club store you can narrow down lots of other things. This is the fun part. The design changes was put together by a few club members and to me is the most significant thing the club has done to date. it lists part changes by date and serial number. It explains when things like your speedo or horn changed from one manuf. to another. The issue is that they built cars with the old and new part for a while so it could go either way. Add to that they may have changed 12 parts at the same time and your particular car COULD have any combination of those 12 parts. I know of 4 1915's built very close to each other that are very different cars.
Craaaaazy! Well I went ahead and ordered every reprint that looked like could be useful to me so that's all on the way already. I went back over tonight to take the paint stripper off and it made the number quite a bit more visible! All of this is super exciting because up until now I didn't know of any identifying marks anywhere on the car and since the paperwork is nonexistent on it, I didn't have any way to even apply for a replacement title until now!
