Hi,
Anyone know where the VIN is located on a 1947 JC Higgens tent trailer?
I know the model number and the serial number. It's a 6 digit number with two zeros at the beginning and then 4 more digits. Could that be the VIN?
Thanks

Rod Yes. The last 4 digits will be the VIN. Sounds like you got the first prototype... Although some very smartsy fartsy people realize that the number 0 is actually the first number in our numeric system. So it could also be the first off the line. How about some photos? I love old tent trailers. |

Here is the link to an ad for a trailer by the same owner. link
In the above linked ad, the canvas was included in the price. The trailer I almost bought and that's mentioned in the initial post of this thread had no canvas and looked identical. He was asking $550.
These trailers were made for only two years and then the design changed.. Earlier this week, the owner emailed me to see if I would take it for $400. My preferences for a trailer have changed. It might still be available as of this posting.
Cheers
Rod
