VIN Number
Hello,
Thought I'd share the VIN from my 52 F1. On the glove box door is a plate on it is : F1D2CS17663
I know the CS means Chester PA which was interesting to me because I was born and raised in Chester as well as my parents. My father in law actually worked at the Chester Ford plant but not during 1952. Can someone tell me if the CS17663 means if anything.
The next line on the plate reads:
3 3.92 N 28K CS551-P
trans rear color production code
If anyone can provide any more info on the above I'd appreciate.
Waiting for spring in PA

Thanks for the reply's, it helped with the color and man date. If anyone is interested I posted a picture of the Chester Ford Plant. It was torn down in 2002 for urban renewal.
