Where is the chassis number on a 1939 sedan? Is it accessible from under the car, or is it on the top of the frame and only accessible with the body removed.Also, what will it tell me? I would be interested in original paint color, manufacture date, stuff like that.
Thanks.

The serial number is on top of the left frame rail (and a couple of other hidden places). It is visible without removing the body. See http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...ialnumbers.htm Go to the bottom of the page for serial number locations. All the number will tell you is which engine was installed from the factory and when the engine/transmission passed final inspection. Thee serial number also appears on a pad on the top of the transmission case. Since it was common to replace transmissions this number is generally not used.
