Can anyone tell me the correct location for the "number plate" that has a space for the "car no." on it? I presume the "number" is the VIN number and this plate mounts to some part of the wood body frame. Thank you...JIM

Car is a FISHER BUILT body, so wouldn't the build tag be on the right side of engine side of the firewall. ???

Hi Mike: The car is a Fisher. There is a tag on the cowl, a oval shaped "Fisher Body" on the bottom of the cowl, but, none of the tags have the VIN number. The tag in question is oblong plate 1 3/4" x 3 1/2". Where is says "car no:"there is a blank space for a VIN number. See page 278, part number DP-33 of The Filling Station catalog. JIM

Hi Junkyard Dog: Thank you for the corect response; the car serial number is what goes on this tag. I have called them VINs so long I forgot there were other names for this plate. Exactly where is the main wood sill and the position it mounts in? A photo to proracer690@gmail would be the best help I think. JIM

Jim Looking at some pictures Bill Masters sent me some years ago of his original floor, It's on the RH (passenger) sill about an inch & a half forward of the board that runs from sill to sill in front of the front seat....Joe

Unfortunately my 1935 chevrolet standard series 3 window coupe only had the general motors of Canada firewall plate. Nothing was on the floor in front of the seat.
I guess usa builds were different ?

Hi Joe: Thanks for the information as it was correct. In the interim, I found the mini-nail holes and matched them to the new plate (old plate missing).
