I searched the archives, but I can't find the information that will tell me where to look for the VIN tag on a 1949 business coupe. Please let me know as I am contemplating the purchase of such a vehicle on a later model chassis, and my DMV will want to see the VIN tag.

One must be mindful of terminology.
I was given a large ration of dung from members on this site for my use of the term "the driver side".
Seems we must be sensitive to people now and in the future, who drive from any other location in the car.
The corrected term given was, "the left side".South Lompoc Studebaker

Be aware that in the 40's and 50's, many cars and states used the engine number for the VIN, even though every car came with a serial number.
Since the old engine is probably long gone, you might have some interesting conversations with DMV personnel.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.
