Body # BA 3434 Trim # 83 Style #53-38890 Paint #50-51( mist gray top, pearl grey body) I know someone painted it turquoise and cadet blue top it’s not the original color but until the rest is complete it’s staying blue

Style 53-3669D = 1953 Oldsmobile Deluxe 88 four door sedan
Body BA 3434 = 3434th body of that style assembled at Atlanta, GA.
Trim 83 = Light Blue Nylon Striped Cloth & Dark Blue Nylon Cloth
Paint 50-51 Upper, Mist Gray Metallic lower, Pearl Gray Metallic

The VIN number is stamped on a tag attached to the left front door post.
It is near the windshield and can only be seen when the door is open.

The engine number is stamped on the top left surface of the block.
And can be viewed by looking between the head and the exhaust manifold between cylinders # 1 and 3.
