Default Great find!

See the thread Ford model designation:
  • C21AF is a Canadian-built 1942 4x2 car chassis with 118" wheelbase and right-hand drive
  • C49WC is the Windsor Carrier
  • C29QF? I know C291QF is early FGT
  • C21D is a 122"-w.b. 3/4 Ton truck
It looks like these tags were attached to parts in packing crates to identify them before assembly?

Just as likely they were tags hanging off of new replacement assemblies.

Hanno
It seems that we receive a lot of vehicle parts, which we never acquire from Canada. Maybe there were so many spare parts left over that we bought them at the price per pound ...

Rob
These tags are in their boxes , without placing on any part.
