2.3 Vehicle identification Numbers

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is stamped on a plate located typically inside the engine compartment or on a door pillar. The figure also shows the paint and trim codes which are usually included on the VIN plate. The car body number is proved separately in the engine or boot compartment.

Summary

Early vehicles were very simple timber structures made by hand; manufacturers did not have the luxury of computers or wind tunnels to aid design. They were unreliable boneshakers but in the early twentieth century things started to improve greatly and the vehicles where being made of steel, but the biggest problem of all even into the eighties was rust, as the all-steel body was not properly zinc coated to protect it from rust.



Nowadays cars have more on board computerised technology than the first passenger aircraft.
