Decode any 17-character VIN into the vehicle it describes: make, manufacturer, model, year
Decode any 17-character VIN into the vehicle it describes: make, manufacturer, model, year, series, body class, drive type, engine, fuel, transmission and assembly plant. NHTSA returns 140 mostly-empty fields; this strips the blanks, promotes the ones that matter and reports whether the check digit validated.
