Kurt,

What is the model 37 in reference to?

I am not Kurt, but can answer.

37 - coupe
67 - convertible

It is from the VIN.

Thanks Byron! It's obvious I'm working with less gray matter every day!

Was there a rubber spring isolator pad in place between the leaf spring and the spring perch when you took it apart?

Do you know if the ref of the spring is stamped on the leaf (3909941 or 3920220 for my car ) ?
 If yes , where ?
I know there's a paper tag with 2 letters  but in about 60 years , gone..

There are not stamped #'s on the springs.

Thanks kurtS.....i will send you by email a PowerPoint a friend make several years ago to explain the differences between US and french model.


So what to do ? Réinstall the added leaf or remove it ?

Technically, if they can't be validated, they should be removed. However, it's your car, and if you want to keep them on then do so. It really depends on what your goal is.

I don't think they are original but I can't say for sure.

If proof can be found that they are original, I would be interested in knowing the details as to when, why and how the change was made.

Best wishes.

I'd tend to install them - at this point the original springs are probably a bit tired.
