Registration Number 562362 in Germany in 1936 Green shading indicates a production milestone or unique vehicle data point. White shading indicates production records data from Ford-Köln publications.

The Model B and BB engine serial number is separate from the prefix letter(s). Those numbers were reserved by the Rouge for Köln's local production use and assignment on both engines and vehicles they produced throughout the 1930's to 1950's, continuing well after US Model B regular vehicle production had ended. The table below indicates series or groups, of numbers which are known to have been transferred by the Rouge to Ford's engine production facilities at Köln. German (Köln-built) Model A, B, & G28T Engines (Rouge number series) There were variations in the spacing, position, orientation, and sharpness of individual numerals due to the manual alignment and stamping operation. Model A, B, & G28T engine serial numbers were hand-stamped on the left hand side of the engine block, above the water inlet as shown above. Model A, B, & G28T Engine Serial Number Location The engine number then became the serial number for the completed vehicle after final (vehicle) assembly. The engine number was assigned to completed engines after they had passed the electric motor-driven engine run-in (run-off) tests and were released for vehicle final assembly. This included some industrial and agricultural use engines. Some post-war non-vehicle G28T engines had engine serial numbers from other than the Rouge number series. Ford-Köln primarily used serial numbers assigned from groups of numbers granted by the Rouge from within the larger sequence of Rouge numbers. These engines carried serial number prefixes A, AA, B, BB, and G28T, among others. This page details engine serial number location, dates, and identification for Ford-Köln Model A, B, and G28T type engines built at Köln, Germany from the 1930's through 1950's.
