Why is it listed as 1956 model year on the screen if it's a 1957 model? |
|

Simple error. Note they also list the make as Cadillac! And no way is that a period VIN. The data simply does not match the car. |

Extra credit! Can anyone decode this VIN? |

I ran it through an on-line VIN decoder which came back as an error/invalid check digit. Noted it is only 16 characters long and should be 17. Tried it with "XXXXXX" for the serial # and it still came back as invalid. First two characters of "DF" come back with Morocco as country of origin. The 10th character of "F" would indicate a 1985 model. That's all I can do. |

Good job, Commander 57! I was thinking if the producer of this movie labeled as fake VIN or one of his own  |

Particularly with a missing digit! |

Back in the fifties the term VIN number didn't exist. The equivalent back then would be a serial number. I don't know how many digits were used back then. |

before VINs were standardized in the the early eighties (1981 I think) VIN numbers were not 17 digits. For instance the VIN on my 65 Mustang has 11 digits |

Yes, it varied greatly and the numbers were just called "serial numbers". Before that, car companies used "motor numbers". And yes, the VIN standardization was done effective for model year 1981. |

"Policy number ABCDEFG" should clue you guys in this is fake and is just random letters and numbers generated for a scene that has half a second of screen time. Not that hard to figure out. Amazes me how many people argue over such obvious things. |
