NOTES:

We have confirmed that Briggs did build some coupe bodies in 1930 and 1931. I have received correspondence and pictures that confirm these. The total number they built is not known. The ’30 and ’31 Standard Coupes had prefix 198, the ’30 and ’31 Deluxe Coupes were 166, and the ’30 – ’31 Sport Coupes were 160.
 
It seems as if Briggs used both the 140 and 141 prefix for the 160-A. The 141 was also used for the Briggs 160-B.
 
No roadster, standard phaeton, or tudor sedan has ever been reported to have had a body tag.
 
1930 and ’31 body tags, if present, are on the firewall below the data plate. 1928 and ’29 tags are found on the passenger side door sill or in front of the front seat on the passenger’s side.
 
Editor’s Note: It has been brought to my attention that for the 150A Station Wagon, a Murray body number plate was nailed to the inside seat riser on the passenger side. For additional information consult the MARC Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards, Station Wagon section.
