The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Sales History

Has anyone tried to research the sales history of their AD's from original dealer to the subsequent buyers?

I tried but was told the records weren't kept that long.

Mine wasn't hard. The dealer sold it to a farm in AL. They never titled it, just used it on the farm as a farm truck. I purchased it from them. So while I'm actually the 2nd owner of my '53, I'm the first to title it.

Here in Ontario, you get a complete history of previous owners when you change the ownership. They don't list owners if they were from another country, such as my panel which came from Missouri. I have a complete list of owners for my 1969 Chevelle back to when it was new, all from the DMV.

I bought mine (1950 3600) from the original family so it came with the original title. It was purchased by their grandfather who used it at the family mine in Eureka, Utah. It is titled by the engine number AHCA 207 207 and the serial number 5HRB 2XXX.
Truck was then used on the family farm and never registered after 1966 and that plate was still on it when I bought it.
I have stayed in contact and when I finished it I went to show them and take pictures with it.

I don't have sales history but when I was taking my truck apart I found a line slip that told exactly when my truck was built right down to the time it was on the assemble line

Thats pretty cool!

That is cool ,when i bought my 55 3100 some 37 years ago it had one of them dealer type add on rear bumpers with the dealers name one it here in Arkansas i am guessing that was where it was bought new .

Where did you find it? I found the original build sheet for my Stingray tucked up under the passenger's seat. I'd love to find it tucked away in my truck somewhere.
