Congrats on the new project.

 

I think you are right.

 

ok i need to clean the motor to see that plate but in the door jam it says 3JJ-L XXXX which i think means it was made in st.louis missouri in 1951 the model series is Fleetline special/ styline special and it was built in december.

but i dont know where the VIN on the title came from.

it did have the body by Fisher blue/white interior

 

ok the fisher plate says 51-1269 which is 1951 and 4 dr styline special and it was thistle grey
still dont know where the vin on the title came from

 

No Vin Tag on the firewall top (driver side) ?? Would be approx 2" x 4" & 2 rivet holes. I couldn't see it in your pics.

But that's where mine was.

 

Finding old cars to fix up is awesome.... You're lucky down in Texas you guys don't have road salt to rust your cars away. Something like that would be rusted out up here...

 

When new the title had the numbers off the motor on it and the VIN was not on the title. Most states changed this in 55 or 56.

Looks like a nice find!

 

Not bein' a smart butt or anything like that but I think the model is a Chevy "money pit" Special. Wish ya luck and if ya need help knockin' down a few banks give me a call.

 

Hi
The structure of the VIN code based on the standards ISO 3779-1983 and ISO 3780.
Standard began work in 1977. Thus, car 1951 year could not have VIN code. At least in its present form.

 

But look how solid the body is. From what you can see in the pictures, there are no rust holes. Put a new motor in if you the old one can't be fixed, coat of paint, and it's all set!
