Hi Gord, you talking about Daryl Jordan in Seattle Wash ? Daryl still has the Fronty Ace 91-1007 with Hayes body plate 191-1262.

Story is Daryl bought the body, fenders, hood, running boards from McAdoo Auto Parts Nov 2 1996. Nov 3 1996 he bought the rest of the parts Tim Wells had kept. In Aug 21 1997 he came back for his 1931 Frontenac plus motor, tranny from the 33 Fronty. Car was a basket case in fair to poor condition. Daryl goes on to say this was his 2nd Continental Ace but built in Canada and that made it a Frontenac. Daryl has 4 Ace's presently inc the Kingston one. Per Daryl its a Deluxe with the wooden wheels like is on the 32 633 in Shannonville. Motor Wheel Co wheels. Daryl also noted the 40A Hall engine has the Hall name ground off as have all Ace's. Casting dates for 675, 680 and Ace are all in 1931 indicating Continental Motors used up the 675 De Vaux excess engines. De Vaux was to flood the market in sales, which didn't happen.

Its too bad the vin plate is unreadable on the eBay Fronty to see how close it is to Daryl's. It wasn't until Steve and I got the info on Daryl's Frontenac Ace, we found out it wasn't a model 81 with Hayes body plates 181 like all Ace's but in fact model 91 with 191 body plates. Now we know a bit more that 81 is US and 91 is Canada. Of course our Leaside aftermarkets say nothing about Ace and De Vaux - Continental ones only show 81.

Did another quick look and even AMC Canada vin's book has wrong info on the Frontenac Ace. Where made .. Detroit is correct. Model and vin shows 81 not 91, so they guessed also.

Here she is at Daryl's with the wood spoke wheels.
