Default Re: 28 model A VIN location

You raise a question that has been asked time and time again...

There could be many senario's as to just where the "VIN" is located.

First we know nothing about the vehicle you have.

In the begining, Ford stamped the left side of the engine with a engine number on the engine number pad. Then, when the engine was dropped into a chassis at the assembly line, that number was then put on the top of the left side frame member in the vicinity of the cowl...you must raise the body off of the frame to read it...sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not due to the 80 plus years of service if you have an original, assembled vehicle.

NOW...if you do not, then there is another can of worms to open...

If the car you have was peiced together, then the numbers could be in the same spot or they could have been stamped elsewhere...or not!

Lots of senarios...ask the previous owner if he had the numbers stamped other than the above.

I am sure others will chime in on this delima!
