That's neat! I have #12078/ DOD 2 APR 42 and lived her whole life in Texas! I bet yours is a Dallas plant. Could we see some photos? If she's original, it might answer a whoooole big bunch of questions!!
Black sheller?
Sticker air cleaner?
Enquiring minds want to know!

Luke,
Does yours have a short or tall x-over tube
That would be a STRONG indicator, especially if it is a tall one 
I could see a tall being swapped out along with a pancake AC for later but not vice-versa

Hi Luke,
GPW 11486 should have been from the Dallas plant.
Hi Mike,
The tall cross-over tube seems to have lasted way past the change in air cleaner brands. At this time I don't have a firm change-over date from the tall to short for the cross-over pipe.

Luke
As far as I know "NellyBelle" was on the cusp and could have gone either way. Same with the speedo that is in her.
Tom
Your Enigma machine-does it have 5 or 6 wheels ? ? ? Security is a factor here. Hehehe

Mike you are correct, and I'm sure I've answered or at least pondered that question before. I cannot remember the answer right now, and cannot reach it for a measurment.
I suspect it's the normal "short" one.

Hi Paulie,
Is going either way mainly a California thing or is only when you get close to San Fransico ?

Well Tom, at least he's going either way with a long crossover tube!
