Early Chevrolet Serial Numbers

DLinscott · August 15th, 2009

Hello all, I'm looking for help with dating some early Chevrolet titles by engine numbers and serial numbers.

These titles list only engine#, serial# and date of issue, which is no clue to the year of manufacture.

Hope someone can direct me to a listing, or someone who is in the know.

These should all be in the teens and twenties.

Thanks Doug

Here are numbers from 1914-1926. Read the text first. there seems to be several plants and each have their own set of serial numbers.

Thank you hwellens, I think I'd have better luck translating the Dead Sea scrolls.

Here's the list of titles with the info that's on them.
Any year dates come from your posted list, and if any are correct I'd be surprised

Engine numbers are first, followed by serial numbers, and then date of issue.
