I recently acquired a Hillman convertible that I am trying to ID so I can start my parts search. The only number I find is on a tag on the firewall MCFL007631. Can you give me any help in identifying what I have?

On our 1960 Minx IIIA the chassis number is on the VIN plate on the scuttle and on a plate in the engine compartment on the top of the right side frame near the front. The engine number is on the block behind the fuel pump. I hope this helps.
