I've seen the small-tank Ambassadors (12xxx serial number range) with
and without plates. I don't know exactly when the plates first
appeared and Berliner didn't remember. Seems likely from this
anecdotal evidence that it was sometime during the small-tank run.
Any other small-tankers out there with a plate and build date? What dates?
Thanks!
GF
| Hi Ian and Scott, My "rare bird" #A12212 (Dec.68) also has an i.d. plate. Maybe the change occurred sometime between yours, Ian, and Scott's or mine? What your s.n. Scott?
