David,
I believe that's what I said...
*
"Blair Harbor's car, the first production AH with body no. 24..."*
However I never heard about the switching at the loading and unloading. I
assumed that Jensen would not discard the first 19 or 20 pre production car
numbers and restart numbering with the production cars. Anyone else out
there know about this, or have an opinion?
Cheers,
Curt
