adrienmitchell Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi, I'm trying to locate the vin on a 1921 studebaker (grandfather lost the title and we are trying to have it retitled) but I can't find it in the usual places. Does anyone on this board know where the vin would be located? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrose Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 On my 1922 Special 6, the VIN plate is located on the side of the drivers side frame rail behind the front axle and can be viewed by looking under the fender. Let us know what you find there. If I recall correctly, there should also be a body identification plate on the firewall, engine side.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrienmitchell Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Joel, the vin was right where you said it would be on the driver's side. It's a seven digit number; thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrose Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 What is the VIN number?Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Huston Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 VIN number is the Vehicle Identification Number. This is the number that is on the vehicles title. On early cars (such as Studebakers of the 1920?s) the number used by most states for the VIN was the engine number. On every Studebaker, I have ever owned of the 1920?s era the engine number was used on the title for the VIN. At a later date auto manufactures started using an assigned VIN for each car and that would appear on the car usually on the drivers side of the dash next to the edge of the windshield.Studebakers of the 1920?s had three separate identification numbers, the engine number, the frame serial number and the body number. Of these three, the engine number was the one used on car titles of this period for what we now call a VIN number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrose Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Mark, but I do know what a VIN is. What I was asking was what the actual VIN that Adrien has located on his VIN plate.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe your car will have a Continental engine, and the part you are looking for should be common to other makes of vehicles that used the same engine; not to mention, stationary Continental non-automotive powerplants.
