There were engine and chassis numbers, which generally do not match, and chassis numbers in 1932 tended to be stamped on the top flange of the frame rail, putting it underneath either the front fender/splash apron, or underneath the body, where it cannot be found save for removing the fender, splash apron or body. So, engine numbers were used up through 12/31/55 by all, or nearly all states in the US. After that, a serial number on the body, either firewall or driver's side A-pillar, until the VIN tag made its appearance.Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey McChesney Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Don't know if you would specifically call it a VIN but both of my '32 Chevrolet cars have a plate on the right door sill that is a Chevrolet installed plate with a "car" number. These numbers appear on the titles as the VIN. Don't know what could be more specific. The engine number is not what appears as the "car" number. Don't have a clue as to the range of #. My '32 Coach is #21BA0420238; my coupe is 12BA0316519 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oracle Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Look on my website [see signature]: it's all there! However others have the monthly production figures for each US Plant: I don't have that and have not needed it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vette59jdwl Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 1932 chevrolet engine numbers started with 2319372 and ended with 2333699. There was no such thing as a VIN number there were however engine numbers, serial numbers, body serial numbers in most cases but not all cases, there was also a job number in most cases but not all cases, there was a trim number and a paint number and usually a build place like in the Canadian 1932 chevrolet Oshawa Walkerville Regina but because of the recession all Roadsters and phaytons were made in OSHAWA. waydne laverdure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
