My '36, Delux 5 win cpe, with a production date of sometime in Aug 36, back window dated 8-36, does not have a body tag, never did have one. No holes in cowl where a tag would have been mounted.

Don is the "Go To Guy" for 35 and 36 Fords. I like your car. If it were mine, I would look for a 36 coil and have it rebuilt by Skip Haney. In the meantime, I would relocate the coil closer to the front of the engine. Having such a long high tension lead can lead to a weak spark at the plugs.

mss64056, Anytime you need the definitive answer to any '36 Ford related stuff, go directly to Don Rogers, the club's advisor. The guy is amazing and always very helpful.

Your repro body tag is incomplete and should have additional production numbers after the 770. Murray did make most, if not all of Ford's 3-window(720) and 5-window(770) in 1935 and 1936. Their bodies would have had a body plate and it looked similar to your reproduction. Enclosed is a photo of what I believe to be an original 1935 Murray plate for a 1935 (48 prefix) 3-window coupe ( body #15505).

I too do not believe the coupe should have a body tag in 36. Usually open car and commercial vehicles had the tag. below is one photo of original body tags from 36 (Phaeton) as well as a reproduction with the correct number font. There is no dash between the body style and the Mfg. serial number. Each body manufacturer had a slightly different tag style.
