Looks good to me. The one is a font that's not available over the counter and broach marks look good. Definitely never been decked.

I think this is a Norwood car and Van Nuys cars had a different "1" character.
I'm still waiting on some more pictures with further information.

Thanks for the sight Howard... Anyone else?

I think the engine code was stamped at the engine plant(V = Flint) so the Nor vs LA body plant has nothing to do with it. It's probably more to do with worn out stamps. Best thing to do is look for other stamps in the same time frame.

What do you base your "font" comment on?
