Frans,

Congratulations on the purchase!
Good to see you have bought this T16 and would love to see it in Holland in due time...........and in proper Commonwealth markings of course, in stead of the USA markings!

Alex

Default T16 serial numbers

Hello Frans,

Good to hear it is coming to the Netherlands.

Re. serial numbers, this is what I wrote quite a number of years ago in a T16 thread (which has sadly gone missing due to a database glitch):
Quote:
Originally posted by Hanno Spoelstra in Wartime T16 pictures
Ford Motor Co. built 13,893 T16 from 1943 through 1945:
  • S/N 1 through 1000 = USA 40113055 through 40114054 ("Prefix FS (Fort Summerville) assigned to serial numbers 1 thru 1000.")
  • S/N 1001 through 6175 = British to assign number
  • S/N 6176 through 9923 = USA 40138753 through 40142500
  • S/N 9924 through 14443 = USA 40123864 through 40128383 (some apparently cancelled)
Also see the thread surviving T16s for pictures of data plates with serial numbers.

Edit: "Fort Summerville" should of course be read as Ford's Somerville plant near Boston, Massachusetts, USA. I quoted this from another source which I should have corrected.
