(a) The serialization applied topassenger cars, trucks, and commercial vehicles using these Fordengines. They may have different serial prefixes, but would be inclusive withinthe serial ranges shown. In other words, passenger car totals must be combinedwith truck and commercial vehicles to arrive at total usage of the engineproduction numbers shown. The letter in the prefix indicates the type ofvehicle: A = Passenger Car, C = Commercial Vehicle (pickup truck orpanel/delivery truck), and T = Truck (large trucks of 1 ton rating or bigger).The number in the prefix indicates the engine type: 18 = regular 85hp V8, 99 =95hp V8, 54 = 60hp V8. The letter G or H in the prefix indicates the sixcylinder engine.

(b) The serial numbers were stamped on the vehicles without any commas or superfluous 0's(zeros). They have been shown here to help identify the general starting number.For instance, the first 1939 Mercury would have a '99-1' stamped asits serial number (rather than 99-001as shown above).

(c) Ford changed production on October 3, 1947 from the Gseries to the new H series six cylinder engine. They started new serial numbersfor the new engine.

(d) The available records do not show the beginning number for 1939 models withthe 60hp V8 engine. According to the Early Ford V8 Club 1938-39 Ford referencebook, Ford held up production of the 60hp engine for awhile due to overstock.They stopped building the engine at #54-468,967 on December 23, 1937 and did notresume production until April 20, 1939 with #54-476,288. 'The StandardCatalog of Ford 1903-2003' gives production numbers of 38,197 coupes,124,866 Tudors, unknown # of Fordors, and 3,277 Station Wagons with the 60hp V8engines. No data for trucks and commercial vehicles with 60hp V8's is given, sothe total number for 1939 is unknown.
