Re: Registry Information Needed (Edited by Author)

Ok the engine 460366 fits 1927 M. Here's 3 from Lansing in that range. But they are 1928 model year Aug 1 1927 - Dec 31 1927. So yours is 1928 model year. vins are model years not production years.

1927 M Touring L-418081 W5-444749
1927 M Convertible Roadster L-419036 W5-464372
1927 M Coach L-419524 W5-464416

No idea what the odd numbers in sills / floors are but only place for vin's is the vin plates. I was wondering if a part number but that doesn't work as the 40000 and up part numbers are for vehicles 1930 and up.
Example gear shift lever
M & R is 22514
407,611, 614, 618, E, 670 is 40212
M hub cap 24154
407 etc vehicles 40584

Re: Registry Information Needed

Well this makes sense why title is titled under engine number! Yea I’m wondering what these numbers mean but sucks I can’t find vin number for vehicle! So there isn’t a way to actually find it in other way ? I appreciate the help now it seems mine came from Lansing

Re: Registry Information Needed

vin plate should be riveted on the firewall inside engine compartment passenger side. My 32 614 is toe board passenger side.
Not unless you can work backwards with owners who might have papers with the vin number.
