Just to muddy the waters further...... My Canadian built '57 210 has no stainless VIN plate on the drivers side windshield post as do American built '55 - '57 Chevys.
Rather, it has an embossed aluminum plate riveted to the firewall to right of center...... GM of Canada, Ltd. which has a serial number for the car and the engine number stamped into it.
The serial number consists of all numbers beginning with 710196***** and has no mention of 'A', 'B' or 'C' code for model identification. The engine number matches the number stamped into the pad on the cylinder block.
There is also a separate aluminum tag having codes for paint, interiour, etc. but as near as I can tell, the codes differ from the codes on trim tags for American built '57s.
Best regards,
Harry
