Quote: I guess it's not a common issue but the reason the Fed's changed the regulation so it was visible from the outside was so they could check cars park and without the owner there to open the car (door). They could check out a suspicious car parked on the street or check the VIN without the driver getting out and what law inforcement officer wants to put there life on the line by bending down to check a door VIN with the driver there or behind him or her???? Odd that they suggest it being put in the door jam where it can't be seen from the outside
I suppose every state is different, but in PA the locations where the tag can be affixed are very specific. I had a vehicle with one riveted to the cowl, per state regs. The tag was red anodized and if I recall, maybe around 3x3. They aren't going to research a proper vin tag for a 71 cuda, they are one size fits all, so that is probably the reason for not mandating original dash locations.
