Old Trucks and Studebaker how do I find out the year?

Question

My neighbor has 6 vehicles that he bought along with his property and he wants ne to find out the year they were made. we found some numbers but i dont know if any of them are vin numbers and i dont know how to find the info he wants. If anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

You don't say what sort of vehicles they are, trucks, passenger cars, etc.

If they were passenger cars, built from 59 to 64, the vin on a plate on the door jamb starts with the year 59, then will have a v (8 cylinder) or s (six cylinder). Canadian built vehicles for 65 - 66 model years start with a "C" then a number, I think 53 was for 65 model year, I cannot remember what the first two digits were for the 66 model year.

The Champ pick up, the most common, built from 59 till 63;
the Vin starts with a number usually 5-8, then usually "E" then numbers sequence.

You can go to the WWW://studebakerdriversclub.com to gain for information about the vehicles.

Hope this helps, a car nut.

Answer 2

You can fine the year out by looking in the door panel or on the motor. If you can't find it that way you can always get the VIN number and call your local police department and ask them to run it for you.

Answer 3

look under the hood, there should be some kind of sticker that will tell you the engine and what tear it is, otherwise take some pictures and look on the web for what they resemble , vin numbers were on the drivers side at the bottom of the windshield on the dash

Answer 4

studebaker went out of business in 1963. as for the other vehicles, it would help to see what they look like to date them. there also might be a label on the driver side door below the latch or on the door jab.
