The VIN number of the Buick GL8 is located next to the windshield wiper strip, specifically under the front windshield seal in the engine compartment. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code used to identify a vehicle. It provides information about the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications. Here is the detailed breakdown of the VIN number: 1. Positions 1-3: The first character indicates the geographic region, the second character represents a specific country within that region, and the third character denotes the vehicle type. 2. Positions 4-8: These characters describe vehicle features such as the model, body type, engine type, and gross vehicle weight rating. 3. Position 9: This is the check digit, usually represented by a number from 0-9 or the letter "X". 4. Position 10: This character indicates the production year, showing when the vehicle was manufactured. 5. Position 11: This represents the assembly plant. Note that "0" indicates the vehicle was assembled by the original manufacturer. 6. Positions 12-17: These are the production sequence numbers. In case of a recall, manufacturers use these numbers to identify and recall vehicles with quality issues.
