John shared this online auction for a VEC? CJ-2A with a column shifter. It doesn’t appear to have had indents, so this may be in the 3XXXX serial number range.

“3 speed on column (Rare), 5 new military tires, restored gas tank and radiator, drives and runs. Sidney, MT Bill of sale.”
Easy entry option. Pic of motor is hopefully earlier than the runs and drives idea. One pic has me curious, a whole row of early thirties cars.

If you go to the link and find the online catalog for the entire sake, you’ll see lots of 20s-on cars.
Plenty of 20’s iron…Firds, Cadillac, Franklin, Packard…
I found the listing on the Horseless Carriage Club website classifieds, so that explains all the old cars.
