reriffel Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Jon, Not sure of a good source for a response to your question; would of thought SAAC could help you. I can say that CSX2159 came without a data plate when I purchased it in 1964. I do remember seeing others in the 64/65 time frame with data plates on pax side foot box. Do you have access to the Registry? I also looked in Rinsey Mills book entitled "Original AC Ace & Cobra", page 78, which states "CSX cars up to chassis 2201 did not normally have chassis plates, with the exception of some of the very early cars, which had a plate similar to that of the Ace 2.6 but giving only the chassis number". European leaf spring Cobras had a chassis plate attached to foot bax that included Engine and Chassis numbers. I have found this book to be a good source of information, but wrt 2159 there are some mistakes. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I would continue trying the SAAC route. Did you try their forum? That is going to be a much better source of original Cobra info than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
