decoder for classic car & truck

[Jim and Jutta]

This link is pretty cool, enter a VIN# from a 1950-1980 vehicle and it dedodes it for you rather than digging through pages of reference material.

What causes a VIN to decode wrong (or not at all) ?

Primary cause is typos like putting in the letter O instead of the number 0, or putting in dashes or spaces.
