VIN numbers

[alanwoodieman]

I am helping a friend who is trying to decode VIN from a Mercury Cougar from the 90's and need to know where I can find these number. I usually stay on the 32/53 flathead, so this is out of my wheelhouse.

I wasn't that sure either.
Depending on how you read his question it could go either way.
