VIN question

[414TATA]

Hello All

I have seen a number of questions here regarding VIN and Model number information.

I was checking my VIN plate on the firewall and even though I know my car is a 1941 model year. The VIN plate reads. 13940909:confused: I know the 1 is for Flint MI. I thought the next number was for the year then the month of manufacture.

Any help is appreciated. The body plate reads 1941 with color codes etc. on it.

Thanks. I sure I am learning a lot on this Forum.

My databook says that Series 40 Special, 60 Century, 70 Roadmaster and 90 Limited Flint serials ran # 13880012 to 14257441 with motor # 44074859 to 44457940. Southgate numbers had a '2' prefix and Linden '3' but in different sequential series.

If you own a 41 Buick a must have book is "Restoration Facts 1941 Buick" by William C. Anderson. The book is a great resource of information for the 1941 Buick.

You can order the book from his web site. Also, check out the pictures of his restoration of a 1941 Buick Super convertible sedan.
