M100 CDN trailers
Hi Eric, Over the year I have kept info on 65 M100CDN trailers I have owned or seen in southern Ontario: The data plate dates ranged from 12/52 to 3/53. Lowest CFR was 70078. The highest CFR was 71252. The lowest serial number was 072 and the highest was 1252. There is no direct correlation between the CFR number and the serial number. Several trailers had CFR stamped on the tongue that did not match the Crown Assets paperwork or the CFR chalked on the trailer at the time of sale suggesting that the DND license plates (with the 5-digit CFR used as the license plate number) got mixed up over the years. The only example of a serial number matching the CFR number was on trailer 53-71252 with a serial 1252 and delivered date 3/53. Based on trailers seen in southern Ontario I would guess that the total production was 1252 or a few more...... Brian
