VIN number

Go to StevePlucker's web site. There is a list of the motor numbers out that can tell the month, day and year your motor was assemblied. If you're lucky enough to find the plant assembly code usually infront of the front seat then you can determine what plant the car was assemblied at and what number it came down the line susposedly.

There is really no "decoding" of the serial number of a Model A. It is just a sequential number...from the first Model A built in late 1927 to the last in 1931. It is the same number on both the engine and frame (at least WAS when the car was built). The only thing you can tell from this number is the date the engine was run in and approved for installation. When the engine was installed in the chassis, the engine number was then stamped on the frame. This could be months after the engine was stamped.

The 17 digit VIN came about in the early 1980's. It is standardized and can tell you model year, assembly plant, engine type, etc. No such animal with our Model A's unfortunately.
 
The "A" designates an engine for either a car or commercial vehicle.

The "AA" designates an engine for a truck.

What letters are at the end of the vin we have no idea.

Give is the complete vin you are working with.

Is the number you are dealing with a restamp or a original stamping?

It's an original stamping. *A406960I* According to pluck's329 it's a Sept. of 1928 frame? What is the I?
