Motor #52928 was built at the Rouge Motor Building on July 23,1942 (431=
built
that day)
GPW was assembled 3 days to 3 weeks later.=20
I would suggest you sand the hood and see if you can find the USA # . =
There
will also be a USA # on the back over the FORD if it's a script GPW.
Let me know if you find it.
