Furylee2 Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Can’t answer on a Chrysler, but this is where it’s located on a 41 Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyd Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Unfortunately no new project........just thought I'd try to help a mate here in Oz who is doing up a 48 Chrysler.............I'd love to know the reasoning that was used for putting the number on that part of the frame, instead of an easily found and seen spot in the engine bay area.........strange........lol.

James_Douglas Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 On the Desoto, the '49, it was on the top of the frame mid-way down the frame rail on the drivers side. I have never had the '47 Desoto's body off to take a look. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug&Deb Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I’m guessing that location was convenient for the assembly line workers and not meant for crazy people like us 75 years later lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHarold Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 The chassis numbers were probably located in out-of-the-way places so law enforcement could identify stolen vehicles if the need arose. The chassis number was also the only place on the car that tied the engine number to the rest of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 The engine number is stamped on the frame just behind the drivers rear wheel housing towards gas tank filler tube. Serial number is in drivers front door hinge pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
