On early models (up to serial number 5,001,494 on Detroit cars), the serial number was placed on the instrument panel.  After that, it was put on a plate that was attached to the left frame rail under the front fender.  The body number and body code were put on a plate that was attached to the corner (left side of the engine) on the firewall.  The engine number of the Model 50, 51, and 52 was stamped on an aluminum plate attached to the left rear side of the engine.  On the Model 53, the engine number was stamped on a boss located on the right side of the engine just above the water jacket cover plate.
