Chassis Number and Partial Chassis Number Locations — by John Chatley
Paul Goldzung's Chassis Number Location List I would like to recognize Paul Goldzung's article in the 1994 356 Registry magazine, Vol. 17, No. 6, documenting all of the chassis number locations he found on D #85643, including those written in crayon, pencil and chalk. View a PDF file of Paul's list here. |

Drauz did some things differently compared to Reutter-built coupes and cabs of the same timeframe. Some Ds have the hood hinge mount ('front deck hinge strap') and the trunk hood latch tongue ('front deck latch finger tongue') both stamped with the last two or three chassis number digits, while other Ds may only have the hood latch tongue stamped and not the typical 356 location of the hood hinge mount.
I have found these stamped locations on a Convertible D—photos below with captions above each photo:
