By the serial number, it is probably a 1949 model. CJ3As started at 10001 and ended with 37749. 1950's started with 37750 and ended with 63784. The 1951 series began with new year designators; CJ3As started with 451GB1 10001 and ended with 54158. 1952 started with 452 GB1 10001 and ended with 38652. There were 13 CJ3As in 1952 that had 452 GA2 10001 to 10013. Those were stripped chassis units. 1953 started with 453 GB1 10001 and ended with 20617. My personal CJ3A carries a mid-1952 year number but wasn't sold until 1953 so it was titled as a 53, unfortunately.
