    vin/chassis no

    I have a 55 Buick special,i have been looking for the stamped chassis no forward of the left chassis
    rail,i have had the wheel off and cleaned the rail but no sign of it.Would i be right in thinking it will be a little further forward but hidden below the battery tray.

    The number that you're looking for on your 1955 Buick frame should be in the same location as it's on my 1953 . . . . . within the first 12" or so from the tip of the front, driver's side frame rail, topside of rail. Numbers are 1/4" high. Obviously, you need to remove some sheet metal.

    I have never seen a number in that location on a 55. However the number will be found on the top of the right side (passenger) frame between the exhaust hanger and the end. Easy to read with the body off...
