Thank you both for the helpful suggestions. Found the body number plate on the firewall, but that number didn't match the title.

So proceeded to the crankcase. With a bright light I found it as described right away. And that was the number on the title! Would have looked for hours without knowing exactly where it was.

Thank you for the help, I will take a look.

The VIN number for the car is the Body number, which should be on a plate on the firewall.

The engine number should be on the front left (driver's side) engine crankcase stamped on a flat space.

Brand new member here. I'm helping prepare a car for sale that belonged to my late brother-in-law. The car is a 1923 Model 129. The car has been titled in CA and CO with a 5-digit number as the VIN. I'm looking to find this number somewhere on the car. I suspect it might be the motor number - but I don't know where on the engine to start looking. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
