My VIN number is 9JPLxxxx and on both of the VIN number "translation" sites I get that it's a 1951 model assembled in Norwood Ohio in December of 1951.

It has side cowl louvers on the passenger side, push-button door handles and the engine has casting numbers on the forward right side of the engine which appears to be a 1952-53 block because it has the three bosses on each side for the motor mounts but that is not where the engine is mounted.

I can't read the engine casting numbers clearly but will be getting it up on a lift here in the next couple days.

Is there anything in particular that I should look for in the engine casting numbers/letters?
