Those of u with missing or questionable VN's can take a good strong light soucr and inspect the firewall for the last 4 digits of the VN. For example:56xx-1234 would have 1234 painted onto the firwall BEFORE the final color was added.

The numbers will appear about 5 inches tall and about 3/8 inch wide, On a 45 degree angle tangent to the 10:00 o'clock position of the left fresh air vent of the firewall under the hood.

The numbers are visible on my very original and early 5672 BUT IT REQUIRES GOOD LITE AT JUST THE RITE angle to reveal them. My junk late 5672 the numbers are CONSPICUOUS due to the extreme weathering that the car has been subject too. I posted pics of the late 5672 firewall several months ago or maybe late last year.

It believe a reasonable person mite consider that this was factory routine procedure most likely thru out all of the Reinhart body styles and maybe even way back into the late 30's.


--=*=-- Supposedly, the VN is stamped on the FRAME under the RIGHT body pillar but i have never looked for mine.
