1932 Ford Vin
I'm looking at a 1932 Vicky that is showing a vin of BCS 2671. Checking Van Pelt and other info, I cannot make sense of this. What am I missing?

Re: 1932 Ford Vin
The VIN should be stamped into the top of the left frame rail near the steering. Where are you finding the number you show? I don't recognize the number as a US built vehicle, any idea where the vehicle was made? Note that Van Pelt only shows V8 numbers but it is not a 4 cylinder number either.

Re: 1932 Ford Vin
What would glass have to do with a vin # on the frame?
I have a 34 roadster that is all original ford running gear & frame but a glass body. |

Sounds like an assigned VIN.

Re: 1932 Ford Vin
Yes I think it is an "assigned" number. It is all steel. I am trying to get in touch with the owner.

Re: 1932 Ford Vin
Get a picture of the number if you can, it might point to something else.

Re: 1932 Ford Vin
Some bodies have a number tag if they were made by an outside contractor like Briggs or Murray. Ford of Canada used prefix CBG and CBQ followed by a 4-digit number for the model B cars ID numbers. The letter F was used in there if it was right hand drive.
