Nubers are what happens when stems find their way into the keyboard and you don't have a spellcheck... Cool

The FBI is interested in the pictures as well, therefore the serious lack of.

Hand cranks were used until 1959.

Look for the VIN # up to the right of the engine.

Check here for location photos and a lookup table of VIN #s to determine the year:
