I'm buying what is supposed to be a 1925 superior,Is there a way to tell the model. Numbers on the engine..the only numbers I could find 8-23-6 could be cs 23 6 under that 344624 with a 12 under it.
Has sliding windows with a tag

Joe - All 1925 Superior passenger cars were model K. This one sounds like a truck with sliding windows? Engines were swapped frequently and not a good way to identify a particular year. More information would help, wheelbase, wheel size, body, dash and steering column features can help determine what it is.

The engine casting date 8-23-6 means it was cast on Aug. 23,1926. Which would make it an early 1927 block. A '25 'K' has a gear driven Generator,distributor & oil pump assembly on the passenger side of the engine. Check that date again. The six maybe a five. The 344624 block P/N is correct for a late'25 'K'.

If the serial number plate has Superior K on the top and then a serial number with a V in it you don't have a Superior K. Seems that they used "Superior K" tags for both models and only the serial number having a "V" identifies the later models. I know it is confusing and has confused a bunch of folks.

1922c that means your vehicle was built around the second week of march in 1925 at the Oakland Ca. plant.

6K8407= 6=Oakland
K= Model 'K'
8407= 7407th vehicle made at that plant in 1925.
First vehicle started with #1001.
