VIN: CHEVROLET USA

CHEVROLET cars are divided into two main “races” – “native” American models and GM-DAT manufactured cars. GM-DAT (General Motors – Daewoo Automotive Technologies) is the Korean division of GM, created on the basis of the “DAEWOO Automotive” division of the DAEWOO concern, acquired at the beginning of the millennium. This department inherited from DAEWOO a lineup and VIN structure, different from American models.

If a CHEVROLET car VIN starts with WMI code (International Manufacturer’s Code), beginning with numbers 1…5 (these are plants located in North America), then it is American CHEVROLET, which fully corresponds to the standard. If the Latin letter “K” or “S” comes first (assembly on Polish plant FSO for European market) – it is a Korean Chevrolet. But Koreans may be delivered to some markets with VIN corresponding to American. So if you can’t identify your CHEVROLET VIN from the tables below, try to do it from the tables for Korean Chevrolets

VIN: CHEVROLET KOREA

CHEVROLET cars are divided into two main “races” – “native” American models and GM-DAT manufactured cars. GM-DAT (General Motors – Daewoo Automotive Technologies) is the Korean division of GM, created on the basis of the automobile division of DAEWOO Motors Co, acquired at the beginning of the millennium by the DAEWOO concern. This department inherited from DAEWOO model range and VIN structure, different from American models. If the VIN of a CHEVROLET car starts with WMI code (International Manufacturer’s Code), which begins with the numbers 1…5 (these are the plants that are located in North America), then it is American CHEVROLET. If the Latin letter “K” or “S” comes first (assembly at Polish plant FSO for European market) – it’s a Korean Chevrolet. But the “Koreans” in some markets may be supplied with a VIN corresponding to the “Americans”, which is fully compliant with the standard. So if you can’t identify your CHEVROLET VIN according to the tables below try to identify your car using American Chevrolet VIN tables
