1957Birdman Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Markar,I assume you are aware the serial number (no VIN numbers in 1955) is on the patent plate on the firewall. The serial number that matches the number on the patent plate is stamped on the frame in three places, only one of which is easily available to view. The easily viewed one is on top of the frame on the passenger side underneath the hood. It is about opposite the middle of the engine. It is not normally stamped that deeply into the metal and you may have to use some paint remover to see it. Do you have reason to belive the patent plate is not original to the car?Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markar Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi, Thanks for the reply, I thought mabe 55s were a little different than 56-57s. There are two holes about one inch in diamiter where the ID plate is suppose to go. The plat has been moved so I just wanted to check and verify.

1957Birdman Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Nope, all the patent plates were located in the same place. It sounds like someone took the easy way rigging up an air conditioner for the car, or something like that.Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markar Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks, found it. It does match, the sequence numbers look a little rough spacing and not the same font as the one on the fire wall. Just want to make sure before I invest.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harris speedster Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Markar,If you take the body off of the frame ;you will find another set of factory assembly line stamped numbers on the frame.They are located just about dead on the middle of the frame, passenger side.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
