That is a great document to start tracking owners and fates if Ercoupes.
But what I was looking for was when small changes were made during production. Like, when did they start putting 6 gallon header tanks? How about stamped steel scissors or cast aluminum scissors? Stuff like that.
Thanks.

I just came across this document that you may find interesting. However since I'm a relative new Ercoupe owner (1 1/2 years) you all may already have this information.
It's on Univair's resources web location.
www.resources.univair.com/docs/ercoupe-production-history
The document is a pdf of an excel spreadsheet that has serial number, registration number, Model with HP in (), date of manufacture, approximate date of manufacturer.
The pdf is sorted in serial number order. However it only covers 1940 to 1950 so it is only the ERCO and Sanders aircraft. I hope this helps on a few of the things you were looking for.
Thanks,

The H was mentioned in the Stanley Thomas book “The Ercoupe”. Since only 7 were built I’d call it a flop.

Never in in the 37 years of Ercouping have I heard of the H. Why would they go back to a 75 HP? Where did you find this?

I just consulted the Stanley Thomas book.
415 - the 121 prewar Ercoupes
415C - the C75 powered Ercoupes
415D - similar to C, weight up to 1400
415CD - like a D but 1260 pounds and 13 degree elevator up travel
415E - C85
415F - C85 with fuel injection, never marketed
415G - luxury model - Club-Aire
415H - “El Cheapo” model, no electrics or much of anything. Only 7 built
