Re: 1954 Pacific figuring out the VIN

Don, does your 54 have a different or maybe an older label? Neals book says they went to a new tag in 54 that only carried the name Packard and the VN. He said the label was embossed by a new machine designed for the purpose and was spot welded instead of riveted. Goes on to say trim and paint codes were now stamped in light ink on the right side of the glovebox. No idea how long that ink stamp lasted because my Pacific had a paper label with the paint and trim codes. While the photo is not clear I do have one of the door jamb and there looks to be only the VN on that label.

He does mention special factory cars with VN based on chassis numbers instead of body numbers and some Henney models used an older label.
