I've bought a 37 coupe that has a 770 36I6 number on body tag located on firewall. Can anyone tell me what these numbers mean ? I found the serial on frame. I'm hoping the state trooper has good enough eyes to verify frame number. Wv DMV is terrible to deal with ! I've learnt my lesson, buying Ga car without title.

Not all Ford bodies were made by Ford. The tag was place by the body maker to indicate the Ford model number of the body, 770 is Fords Std and Dlx 5-window coupe. The second set of numbers is a sequential number given to the body by the Mfg. The tag may have the body Mfg. name on the top, be careful cleaning. Here is another 37 body tag.

40 coupe; I don't have any additional information regarding the original question, but your comment about the body tag is interesting. Were body tags present on 37 Coupes and if so, where were they located? I have a 37 coupe & have located the frame VIN, but there was only a Patent Tag on the driver's side firewall that was so faded, I couldn't read any numbers. There was no stamped tag anywhere that I found. Thanks.

The body tag was located on the angled section of the firewall above the patent plate. Check out page 5-7 of the restoration guidelines from the club (you do have one don't you?). If the tag is missing are there a couple of holes there? If Ford made the body there should be no tag. Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 3-9-14 @ 1:40 PM

Thanks Charlie! There are 2 holes that were welded in a long time ago above the Patent Plate. They are about 2" apart...maybe a little less. Guess that was the body tag location.
