Does anyone know where I would find the VIN on a 1915 ford and is there
anywhere I can get info to decode the VIN ; IE: assembly plant,date of
manufacture,options,body style ETC.
Any info would be great THANKS.............DAN

There was no VIN as such. There was a serial nbumber, stamped into the frame on
the left side behind the radiator. That can be used to determine the date of
manufacture - plug it into the search engine at
http://www.model-t-ford.com/tsernum.htm . There is no data encoded in the
number.

Rechecking that web site, it appears that the engine also has a serial number,
located immediately in front of the radiator hose. You can see part of one in
the left photo on this page -- http://www.model-t-ford.com/tdate.htm . The arrow
in the right photo points to the location of the frame serial number.
