Sorry...I should have said seat tube and I didn't even have to check the list as I also have a CCM bike with an xDxxxx code.
A D in the second position of the code makes it a 1940.

This is another Rambler... mine is a 1933.

My 1940... it has seen a lot of modifications.

As far as value goes, old CCM's don't fetch very large sums... yet.
The Rambler was made for a very long period of time and were produced in very large numbers... very few changes were made in the design although some of the components were changed over time. My 1933 has a "Hercules" rear hub that says patents pending while later hubs read "CCM Hercules" and often have a date stamp on the actuator arm.

If you are planning on riding it you should know that the stock gearing is very high on men's bikes and you can change the gearing by either swapping the chain wheel for a smaller one or replacing the rear cog... it is threaded and has a lock ring like a track bike and finding cogs is not a problem.
I replaced the 52 tooth ring on my Rambler for a 48 and it makes a world of difference.
