Topic: Metal Seat tag on 41 Ford Tudor Sedan

  I have seen a few other posts but was wondering what these numbers all mean on this tag that was attached to my 41 Ford tudor sedan seat? I have yet to find the VIN on the frame to compare and wondered if this would match the VIN or if its unique number to the interior? Any insight would be appreciated.

  Here is my attempt:
11A - 1941 model number
70 - Tudor body style
64700 - part number (seat spring)
A1 - revision number for seat spring part

  What you have is a seat tag. It has nothing to do with your vin number. If it follows the same format as the 42 body parts book it should read like this:
01A 7060137-C
The numbers beyond the 70 will be different depending on whether the piece is a seat back or cushion and what the fabric on the seat is.

Your vin number is the same as the engine serial number. It will be found somewhere on the left frame rail between the radiator and the firewall usually next to the front cross member. If you have the original transmission it also will be found on the top of the transmission just above the little inspection door

  Yes. nelsb01 is correct. 11A is '41. the A is Ford car line. The tag identifies that spring base part number.
An old Ford Chicago Assembly Plant Process Engineer says so.

  Well I read too quickly and thought the car was a 40. The other guys are of course correct the first three numbers -11A do indicate that the car is a 41. The 70 indicates that it is a tudor body. If the numbers hold true with the 42 book the 64 indicates that it is a seat back.
Nothing in the book corresponds with the 700 but those three numbers plus the letter seem to indicate the type of fabric and whether the car is a Deluxe or Super Deluxe

  What does CLSC on the top of the tag signify ?
