Factory warranty-plate reference

Reference for reading the factory warranty / data-plate codes on a pre-1981 Lincoln — not proof of identity. These are the published factory tables for this year; a code reads only within its own year and car line, and matching a code does not confirm what a car is. Each line carries the confidence of its source.

Plate layout / where to read it (parts catalog)medium confidence1980 vehicle identification number: digit 1 model year (0), digit 2 assembly plant, digits 3-4 body series, digit 5 engine, then consecutive unit number from 100,001 (example 0G63G100001: 1980, Chicago, series 63, engine G, first unit). From 1981 Ford used the 17-character format. Series numbers repeat across car lines in 1980 (e.g. 81/82 Lincoln and Granada; 93 Fairmont and Cougar XR7), so read the series together with the body type code.

These factory warranty-plate tables are reference only — they never confirm a car's identity, and they never set or affect value.
