Chrysler VIN Decoder

Chrysler was founded by Walter Chrysler in 1925 and grew into one of Detroit’s Big Three. The brand is known for the 300, the Town and Country, and the minivan it helped create.

Built before 1981?

Can I decode a Chrysler VIN from before 1981?

Yes. Chrysler VINs from before 1981 are shorter than 17 characters and follow Chrysler’s own layout, so a standard decoder cannot read them. Our classic decoder reads them from as early as 1960, character by character, against the factory chart for each year.

What do the first three characters of a Chrysler VIN mean?

Chrysler-built vehicles share C as the second character. A 2 in first place means Canada, where cars like the 300 and the Pacifica minivan are assembled.
