I would like some information on how to find the original owner from 1941. If not, the possibility on finding fairly close to that anyway. I purchased the car in September of 2014 at the Jefferson County car show in Wisconsin. The paperwork that came with car took me back to last two owners, circa 1978? Any info on how will be greatly appreciated. Gus.....

Be advised you are putting somewhat private info out there, by showing the number, but I saw no harm in doing so. 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe 2 door sedan / purchased from second owner 6-19-2000.

Yes, there had to have been activity with the full serial number, being involved, for any information to appear. On mine, I found information, regarding the original owner. But, for me, I already knew about the original owner, since there were only 2 previous owners to my '51. It was worth a try, on your part though. 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe 2 door sedan / purchased from second owner 6-19-2000.
