Mark II serial numbers

[Pat Marshall]

Please see my 9/19 post in the INTRODUCTORY UNITS -

In it I reported the invoices missing from my invoice set:

Prototypes (3)
9500, 9501, 9502F
Two Car Pre-Pre-Production Special Run (1000 & 999) (1)
999
Pre-Production Cars (10)
975,976, 978-985
Regular Production Cars (206)
1001, 1003-1014, 1016-1272, 1274, 1280, 1297-1309
1331-1335, 1339-1341, 1347-1348, 1354, 1390, 1400,
1402, 1405, 1406, 1436, 1497, 1716, 1769, 1998.

Whether the missing invoices from my set are all IU's or just missing invoices, I can't 100% say. However, until proven otherwise, for purposes of writing car histories, I assume they are IU's.

Please clarify your request for "a list of numbers to present?"

I also came across this email from Axel Holm that I received years ago - “I discovered the Mark II invoices in 1967 when visiting in Dearborn, Michigan. They were on the floor in a box in an engineering office at the Lincoln assembly plant in Wixom, MI. I arranged to get copies, and then recorded the information.”

I don’t know if the missing ones were destroyed in the 1962 Ford Rotunda fire (some of the Ford Archives were lost) or what happened to them.
