Hi, I have Buick Century convertible 1954 and I need help with identification. The car have not a data plate only vin trim tag with numbers: 6A3036947. I have not original transmission and i need the type what the car want. Can you somebody help me please? Sorry for my english I am from Czech republic.
The serial number won't tell you much. The Century came with either the 6-bolt top cover synchromesh manual transmission or the Dynaflow automatic.
6A3036947
6 = Series 60/Century
A = 1954
3 = Linden, NJ
036947 = sequential number, range for Linden was 001001 to 055955
Thank you for your answer, I know that in the car must be the automatic transmission but I don't know the type or specification of the transmission. I have the question yet, can I detect from the serial number the body number? Thank you for your time... Karel
Unfortunately the serial number won't help with determining the body number or any of the other items on the trim tag. You should get a chassis service manual:
