Re: VIN / trunk stamping?

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if this explains your numbers Jim but here's a quote from an 
article in Auto Hobby Digest:

"For 1967 and earlier cars, the fender tag has a "SO NUMBER" that is stamped 
into the radiator core support, usually on the driver's side, either on top 
(under a sticker, sometimes,) or facing rear. This stamped number will 
usually contain the model year and the assembly plant in addition to the "SO 
NUMBER". This stamped number ties the fender tag to the the body. Unless the 
core support was replaced in an accident repair, this can help weed out a 
misplaced fender tag."

Here's a link to the whole article:
