Hey Guys I've been searching hard for an early 50's truck or car. So I found a 1950 convertible that I can afford. Can anyone decode this vin? RHC751347 Thanks,

What you are providing is the cowl code and you do not have all the numbers. RH means it was assembled at the Richmond , California assembly plant. The C75 should be C76 if it is a convertible. The actual serial # or VIN # is stamped on top of the right side angled frame brace that goes from the frame to just under the radiator to the front crossmember. In that # is engine type, B for a V-8 and H for a 6, model year 9 for 49, 0 for 50 and 1 for 51, assembly plant such as RH for Richmond, and then the numerical sequence of the assembly. This information comes from the 49-51 Ford Book that is put out by the V-8 Club. The info is on page 1-16. Look for that # on top of that angled brace or on top of the right frame rail and let us know that #.
