Hi All,

I manage the Chevy Registry for 1946 - 1954 Chevrolet Passenger Cars at: http://morechevys.homestead.com/Registry.html

On occasion, I will get some info that just does not fit the usual.

The serial number WD53F065330 has me stumped. What does the "WD" mean? Normally, the "D" in the serial number designates a Sedan Delivery. All the rest of this data is normal.

53 = year, F = built in Flint, Mi. 065330 is the sequence # starting with 1001.
Body Style 53 1011WD = Bel Air 2 Door Sedan
Body # F 6942 confirms it was assembled in Flint, Mi.
Trim 246 = Blue Cloth
Paint 510 = India Ivory (originally)

Any ideas about the serial number?

Thanks,
