QuestionI recently purchased a project car, a 1948 Ford coupe. One of the previous owners indicated on the firewall (with paint) the VIN. It sounds correct...begins with 899A-...
However, the Title says the VIN is RC########. I checked with the DMVs in both Ill and Wisc, and they have no idea. Any clues? I have no reason to believe that the person I bought it from sold me something different than what he had. I also am trying to find the VIN on the frame, but can't so far. Where is it, and how can I see it? Thanks.
AnswerTough one. If you had a '49 or newer, this would be easy, but pre-'49, postwar Fords are difficult to find data on. Believe it or not, I'm going to refer you to a Ford TRUCK site:
www.ford-trucks.com/forums
Sign up as a member on their site, and ask your question in the General Automotive thread area. It's a great site, with a lot of helpful people just full of information. Tell them that I, "1956MarkII" referred you, and I'm sure someone will respond!
