This airplane, S/N 1391, is currently owned by a company in Orange County, CA. It was manufactured in 1929 and it holds an airworthiness certificate due to expire in 2020.
As happens from time to time, I was browsing a flight magazine and NC162V was pictured in an advertisement for an aircraft coating company, below. Note the striking Art Deco flying female form on the fulelage.
