Production Order numbers

[ralt12]

Having just received my copy of my C coupe's passenger car order from the Studebaker National museum, it notes that the Maui Blue car has LHD (left hand drive), a wet air cleaner, a 3.54 rear end, and whitewall tires.
But it also lists SOLEX GLASS (which I assume is the tinted glass all around), an option called AC2342 CLIM (which I assume to be the "Climatizer"), and an option called AC2314.

Anyone know what AC2314 is?

I also have an unlabeled box (under the tire type) that simply says FIRE....Have to assume it's referring to Firestone tires. My docs don't give a destination (built in L.A. and stayed in Cal.) and also reference a trim code of 7913. The Model and Body Type box has 4H C5 CUPID in it; I get the 4H (built in '53) and the C5 (2-dr hardtop) but I'm a little fuzzy on the CUPID....

Jim, what's the serial# of your '53? Just curious because I have a 53 LA-built Commander coupe also. Wondering how close they are production-wise.
