Help deciphering the body tag
Author Last Post

Before 1925 there was only one style of the Type 124 so they did not identify on the body tag an "A", "B" or "C" designation. In 1925 there were three types of 124 available "A" Touring, "B" Sport D/W (dual windshield) and "C" Sport. I'm not sure what the "Sport" means in the difference of the body. The second number is the production number, -2771 is the 2,771 type 124 produced. I'm not quite sure what the -2- is but I believe that it is the version type. There may have been an earlier version of the type 124 which would have been slightly different.

Hello esteemed community. I am writing on behalf of a friend in France who is restoring a 1924 VIN 22407


We are trying to decipher the codes on the body tag which we found on the seat frame. Hopefully the picture will come through.

Based on the excellent book "Lincoln Product Information 1921-1939" which I found in the Documents section of the forum, in 1924, a body type 124-A is a Touring body made by Brunn which seems right. But on our car, the tag only says "Body type 124, without the -A. What does the -A mean?

And, under that, it says NO-2-2771. What does that refer to? I searched this site but could not find the meaning of that one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
