vim location on 55 desoto fireflite?

[austinsailor]

where would I tell someone to look? it's not near me and I want to run the numbers through DMV before making the trip to make sure it's clean.

thanks for any help.

it is likely that the serial number is probably located on one of the "A" pillars in a location similar to the P15. If the number on the documnets strts with and "S" it is likely the engine number.

There are no documents. A fellow bought a piece of property and it was in a barn. He's not familiar with it, and I'd like to run the numbers before going to see it and try to a any registration history on it. I was hoping to get him enough information that he can get a vin (and hopefully not the body code or some other nearly useless number) and I could have someone at the dmv do a search.

By '55 I don't think they were using engine numbers.

In this picture of a desoto for sale, there appears to be a tag on the

driver's door frame.....

And on a 56 model.
