Bob Zetnick Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I have just moved to Colorado where they require VIN confirmation to get plates...this is a visual confirmation, so a VIN on a title won't work. This is a speedster type of body though listed as a roadster, so it doesn't have doors / jambs for a VIN, there is no plate on the upper right floorboards like my '29 and the engine # doesn't match the VIN on the title. Does anyone know another spot to look for a VIN on a '24 DB? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I was under the impression that there is a number on the cross member under the passenger side floorboard. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattml430 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 May not be in the same place but another spot to look. My 27 was on the front right hand side just above and behind the rear shackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 My 25 is in the same place on the right above the shackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Just to be clear, right side, is Driver Side? '38 as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayG Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Right side is Passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmallregular Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 On my '24 touring, it's stamped on the outside of the right (passenger side) frame rail near the rear shackle mount for the front spring, similar to the photo in Mattml430's reply. I had to rub it gently with fine sandpaper to make it readable. As I recall the numbers are about 3/8 of an inch high. I'd assume it's in the same location on all cars of that year. Where in Colorado are you? We're a ways east of Parker. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylormade Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Bob, don’t tell me Colorado isn’t going to let you license that beautiful green and black speedster! Say it isn’t so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Lawson Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 No matter where you are in the world Left is Port side and Right is Starboard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Driver's and or passenger's side can pose problems in places that have a different "rule of the road". Any parts book that I have ever seen describes right and left as if you were standing behind the vehicle, facing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Well, either way, passenger or driver, port or starboard, left or right, I've checked front and rear shackles on all springs and no number....it may have been sandblasted, filled and painted over as I don't know when this body was built; 9 or 90 years ago....it may be under the fender, but I'm not taking all that off to show a guy a VIN......Looks like I may be able to redo a VIN though w/ paperwork. I didn't know this, but Colorado apparently wants to see the car running.....my '29 DA died last week (a total other story) and even if all other stuff (lights, signals, horn, etc.) can run off the battery they want it to run too. Never thought it would be so complicated just to get plates for old cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmallregular Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Now that's interesting...when I brought my '24 in from Oregon about 6 or 7 years ago, all they cared about was that there was a number on the car somewhere that matched the number on the Oregon title, and that the Oregon title had signatures in the appropriate places. Stopped at a used car dealer next door to the DMV, got a VIN verification, took that form and the signed off title to the DMV office, and walked out with all the paperwork & plates. Title came in the mail later. Never took the car off the trailer. Wonder what's changed, or if you got someone who doesn't understand antique vehicles.
