    I recorded the following 18-characters in sequence from the cowl tag:

    ST7144467FL1045169

    1. Is 'this' the entire VIN?

    2. Also, am I correct, a 1971 Buick Skylark Custom convertible?

    Thanks again.

    Its not the VIN its 1 line of the body tag
    ST 1 tells you its a 71
    44467 is the model number for Skylark Custom Model 44467-Convertible Coupe..................................3,299
    FL1 is the fisher assembly for the body - 045169 is the sequential body number (body serial)
    The VIN is behind the windshield lower left on top of dash -
    this will help with the rest of the numbers

    FL1 means that it was assembled in the Flint Michigan plant as opposed to a dual line plant.
