Automobile chassis number stamping can generally be found in the following three locations: 1. On the front bulkhead of the engine compartment. 2. On the left side of the vehicle dashboard (driver's side), visible from outside the vehicle through the front windshield. 3. On the nameplate at the lower end of the right-side B-pillar. Here is some related information: 1. The chassis number, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), is a set of seventeen alphanumeric characters that serve as the car's unique identifier. Each vehicle has its own unique chassis number. The letters and numbers in the VIN represent information such as the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, model, etc. 2. VIN positions 1-3 (WMI): World Manufacturer Identifier. The first digit represents the country or region of manufacture, while the second and third digits represent the manufacturer and vehicle type. VIN positions 4-9 (VDS): Vehicle Descriptor Section. Positions 4-8 indicate the vehicle's type, series, body style, and engine type, among other details. The ninth digit is a check digit. VIN positions 10-17 (VIS): Vehicle Identifier Section. The tenth digit indicates the vehicle's production year. The eleventh digit is the assembly plant code. Positions 12-17 represent the vehicle's production sequence number.
