Hi all,

Our Newell was ordered in 1971 and completed in 1972. I contacted Newell earlier this year after we purchased her and was told that the last 2 digits of the serial number represented her build number. Jessica France at Newell told us that ours was the 96th Newell built. Jessica was able to also provide the original order sheet and drawings for the coach showing that it came with a Ford 391 industrial motor as would seem to be indicated by the last digits of the MTR.NO. on the build plate located next to our main entry door. A picture of that plate is attached below.

That's really too small to read so here's what it says:
Newell Coach
Miami Okla
MTR.NO. 21085 S25HG 391EHD
SER.NO. 3F30 S5196
