1934 Plymouth PF numbers

[Ty]

That's funny, I actually bought this car in late January, it's sitting in my garage undergoing a mechanical refresh. It's very presentable on the outside, very nice on the inside, but the engine compartment was not pretty. Lots of little projects needed to make it reliable. Also, not sure I can live with baby blue oil filter lines.

For what it is worth, the original engine number for my 1933 PD is stamped on the outside of the frame rail on the left (driver side) between the running board support brackets.

There is a chance the did that in 1934 too.

Hello,

I am hoping to become a member of the Plymouth Owners Club. I am looking at a 1934 model PF and have questions about numbers.

The serial number is: 1894146

The body number is: PF 5053

The engine number is: PE 192016

Are these numbers consistent with production records? Perhaps the engine has been replaced given the PE prefix?

Thank you,

Paul Brown
