I should have mentioned that I have already done that all up and down the frame. but I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the reply but mine is not there either. Any other location to look? I've been up and down the frame on a lift and can't find any stamping of the VIN. Just so everyone is aware, this frame does not look like it has been abused. No grinding occurred. There are some stamps on the frame...

Bufprd26, I don't have any number stamped in this location. Is there another place to look? Mike

Thanks Bob One other thing. Didm\n't Buick place a VIN stamping on the frame also? If so, do you know the location?

Has anyone information as to where else I can find the VIN number on my 1955 Buick? I was informed that there should be a VIN stamped on the frame but can't seem to find it.

Hi everyone, I have a 1955 Buick century with a dynoflow transmission. Casting number on the main case is 342992-8. I assume the 8 after the dash is the 8th edition. What I'm trying to find out is if this casting number is correct for a 55 Buick. date code is 2-27 which I assume is February...

Bob Would you happen to know what month they released the 55 model to the public? I have an early production car and am trying to figure out if it was produced in February or in 1954 Possibly October if the release was October. 738,814 produced /12 = about 61,567 per month my car was 83,160 in...

Thanks Bob. This has been stumping me for a while.

Here is a picture of the Data plate. Believe that it is not a canadian car as it was built in Los Angeles

I am also wondering what month Buick released it's 1955 models. I know that currently car manufacturers release the coming year in September of the previous year but am not sure they did that back in 1955. Anybody with this knowledge?

Hi Luckyd I have a 1955 Model 66R 2 door hard top. Does that help deciphering the stamping?

Sorry for the confusion. Here is a picture of the stamping. The buick is a 1955 Century and the engine is a 322 nail head. I have researched and not been able to come up with this stamping. Everything I find says it should start with a "V". Plus even if I think that the i is a miss stamp, I...

Jnelson, Thanks for the info. Will pull hood tomorrow and get a better look. If I see it leaking at the block/head area I'll pull the head and install a new head gasket. Mike

Well I ran the car at 2000 rpm for 7 minutes and it did leak. Looked like it was coming from behind the right valve cover. Replaced the seal and ran again. This time I still had a leak and it was not coming from the valve cover. So I check where the oil pressure gauge ties into the block just...
