Alright guys and gals...
The Tag shown in the top of the picture is pretty obvious. It's the cowl tag from a US6 Army Truck. (And is the highest body number I've ever seen. Anyone seen/have one higher? Might it be the last US6? )
The Tag underneath it, is a mystery.
Both of these Tags have been screwed to rusting pieces of metal, up in Indiana, for the past 60 years. Anyone who has been following the Forum lately can probably figure out where in Indiana these tags were.
So, here's the quiz...
The tag on the bottom is unlike any other Studebaker tag I have EVER seen. I know for a fact that it is Studebaker related. It was removed from the remains of what was most likely the cowl of a late '40's Stude car.
Does anyone out there know what this tag might have represented? What it stood for? What it means? Why it was screwed to that cowl? Note the stamped border around the numbers.
Seriously.. This thing has me stumped.
