How to date Firestone Pilot bike

-
Not really. It looks to be a pretty complete bike and since it was your grandmother's, why not fix it up and ride it?

Grandma got it from an auction, not her childhood bike or else would keep. My plan was definitely to ride it, unfortunately it is small for me and will need different adjustable handlebars and a longer seat post. Don't have the space to store extra bikes where I live, so I may sell ...
 
The 3-characters Firestone F-code “FAC” may indicate:
F = Firestone;
A = year 1939;
C = manufacturer Colson.

If the letter “A” was used for 1939; then how were earlier Firestone bicycles stamped(?); we have recently seen a 1938 Firestone also built by Colson with an “FS” stamp.
