VIN Information

Here is a list of the assembly plant codes corresponding
to the VIN (vehicle identification number or serial number) of your classic Chevrolet.
The VIN can be found on a small aluminum tag under the front floor mat
 on the passenger side of your car.
(Note: sometime in the 1950's they changed from #'s to alpha (letter) codes
for the assembly plants.)

In the 1930's and 1940's, the first digit of the VIN was:

1   - Flint, Michigan
2   - Tarrytown, New York
3   - St. Louis, Missouri
4   - not listed, may be a plant that closed?
5   - Kansas City, Missouri
6   - Oakland, California
7   - not listed
8   - Atlanta, Georgia
9   - Norwood, Ohio
10 - not listed
11 - not listed
12 - Buffalo, New York
13 - not listed
14 - Baltimore, Maryland
15 - not listed
16 - not listed
17 - not listed
18 - not listed
19 - not listed
20 - not listed

Example... if your VIN starts 1AH06...
1 indicates the car was assembled in Flint, Michigan
AH is the Series (1941 Special DeLuxe, AG is 1941 Master DeLuxe)
 06 is the month of assembly (June)
