VIN Plate

Hi, thank's for the information about GM Heritage Center. Do they have any website?

When I've got the correct frame number I need a new plate to put on the car. Where can I find it?

No website yet.

There's no plate...it was stamped in the frame.

I doubt you'll find many folks that know where it is stamped. Not that I'm a pro or anything, but I've been around Olds for quite a few moons, been to a couple of Nationals, and NEVER seen anybody look for frame numbers.

There are several numbers stamped throughout the body, frame, etc and those numbers are only available from mfr. to law enforcement for use in tracking stolen (often disassembled) cars. I believe A. O.Smith made most of the frames but that number if found would not be of any benefit. You might also probably find a number stamped inside the decklid opening lip under the weatherstrip. Again, of no use to you.

VIN decoding, engine and body plate ID's are about all you need to ID your car and it's components.
