Hi all,
I am trying to find out what the "standard format" was for a '48 Silver Streak in regards to Vin and engine number matching? My VIN number is P8PB35167. What would the engine number be then...? _________________ |

Your VIN breaks down as:
P= Pontiac Michigan assy. plant
8= 8-cylinder engine
P- 194
B= Streamliner
35167= production sequence at MI plant. The last number for a Streamliner-8 coming out of the Michigan plant was 61682. So yours was about mid-year production.
All our references show that your engine number (left side, top of engine) should be the same as the VIN. _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |

Hi Larry,
Thank you for that information, much appreciated! Can you tell me what the
P -"194" relate to?
Would the full VIN be on the engine number or just the numbers - 35167 ? _________________ |

OOPS! Typo... P=1948
I think the engine numbers are just the first group of numbers, but not 100% sure. _________________ PontiacRegistry.com... building the single largest source of Pontiac information, services, and entertainment in the world! |
