Regular Posts: 62 Location: Springfield, MO | I just got the card back from Stellantis. Dealer Code Number is 9030 Region 52 I believe. Danielle was nice enough to include that it is for Martin Motor. Co. Springfield, MO. This means that my car has never been registered in any other state besides Missouri and confirms my suspicions of the remnant Missouri registration sticker.

Regular Posts: 62 Location: Springfield, MO | I will have to check and see the door pillar. I only remember the vin on the door pillar. I have not found the data plate (might have been removed). I thought they were on the radiator yoke? | ||

Regular Posts: 62 Location: Springfield, MO | I have the silver "vehicle number on my driver door post. I have yet to find the second build plate in the engine bay. I saw on the 300 forum that it can sometimes be in different places depending on the year. I can confirm that it is AC, Power swivel, dual antenna | ||

Expert Posts: 2063 | . You may also try to find the data plate under the hood on the radiator splash panel – between the grille and radiator itself, like on the picture below on this 300 E: In 1959 Chrysler cars were built by two assembly plants: Los Angeles and Jefferson. Los Angeles data plate traditionally located under the hood on the cowl panel, near the right hood hinge. Early Detroit data plates were located on the radiator splash panel. Since April 1959 approximately the data plates moved to the driver’s side pillar and replace the silvery vehicle no. tag. The latest car with data plate attached on the radiator splash panel I’ve seen was built on March 5, 1959 and the earliest car with data plate on the driver’s pillar was built on April 10, 1959… (1.jpg) (2.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 1.jpg (107KB - 168 downloads) 2.jpg (57KB - 168 downloads) | ||

Regular Posts: 62 Location: Springfield, MO | I looked behind the grill, under the rad, by the hood hinges and nothing. | ||
