In the VIN the first 3 letters/numbers are Make/Model: (Digits 1-3) This breaks out the vehicle's make, model, and manufacturer. In my case the VIN is 1C3AN69L74X007275 with the 1 being the country where it was made/assembled. I also confirmed the information on a few sites including;

The first digit in the make code will always be the country of manufacture. There are numerous country codes, but the most common ones are:

• USA: 1, 4 or 5
• Canada: 2
• Mexico: 3
• Japan: J
• Korea: K
• England: S
• Germany: W
• Italy: Z
• Sweden: Y
• Australia: 6
• France: V
• Brazil: 9

I give Jalopnik full credit for this info.


I would encourage everyone to have a look. Might save you from a "lipstick on a pig" situation.
