Could I please get some help decoding my VIN or Vehicle Identification Plate which is on a 59 Australian Ford Mainline Ute. I have spent a lot of time searching for information without success.

Serial Prefix 1G.2.59

Body 426G

Model 123A

Paint 2.2.2.2

Trim 58

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers, Woody.

Hey woody,

cheers

Do you know of a site Rod? I have been Googling Aussie sites and I have found plenty of information on Aussie ford vin numbers, post XM/ XP Falcon era, but I've had no luck finding Australian Customline/ Mainline ID plates info. I figured someone here would know for sure.

Cheers, Woody.

I'm sure Bill will be along soon and he will know them off by heart.
My Customline doesn't have a plate at all which is a little bit disappointing

Woody, have you tried Ford Australia? I had a 59 Mainline a while back and the only info I had was the year. Very little info on the Internet that I can find. Mind you, I didn't have a computer when I had my '59

I have seen Australian Tag plates in as new condition at car shows so I there might be someone out there reproducing them. The XP Falcon plates look exactly the same. I will keep an eye out for you. I could do with a nice new one myself.

A letter to Ford would most probably get a positive response. Could be the go.

Cheers

Could you let me also know if you do come across any, my 52 Mainlines' is also missing


Thanks, Al.

No worries Al.

Very unlikely, ford australia has little or no data info like USA has, particularly early 50.s. i have new data plates, bearing in mind they were reverse punched with the numbers etc.
