I came across this oldie, and am wondering what exactly have I found?
Thanks for your help.

 

 

In the early days there were no vin#'s, there were serial numbers. That's the tag.

 

And that will all buff out!

 

It's patena

 

From the second picture you may have a 1928 Oldsmobile town sedan , Or at least what's left of it .

As far as the brass plate , it is an early fisher body tag.
The Job number is an indicator of the body style (two door , coupe , etc. ) and sometimes the year .
The body number is a sequential number assigned to that car . It is never the VIN. The Vin was usually a number stamped on the engine or on the frame rail . A letter before the number may be an indicator of the assembly plant .

I'm sorry , but i don't have any list of job numbers .
Perhaps others will chime in .

Thanks for watching over me...

 

Suitable candidate for an LS series crate, and upgrade frame, driveline and brakes...Looks like it already has air conditioning.

 

If in my back yard it would morph into a rat rod, of course it would be first generation Old's powered and I wouldn't buff it out .... Tedd

 

Thanks everyone who left some feedback on this. I left my number with the owner, we will see if he entertains my offer before crushing it up.

 

If it's an Olds it should be on the road. Hope you get it. If today's cars sat that long you'd be asking "what's this pile of rust dust.
Good luck.
