For 1992, the Brougham sedan retained its distinction as America's longest production vehicle, but was not subject to "gas guzzler" taxes in 1992.
The 1992 Cadillac had a 17-symbol vehicle identification number (VIN) stamped on a metal tag attached to the upper left surface of the cowl visible through the windshield. The digits of the code were as follows: |
First digit = "1" = manufacturing country (United States) |
Second = "G" = General Motors |
Third = "6" = Cadillac |
Fourth & fifth = car line/series -- D/W=Brougham |
Sixth = the body style: 5 = four-door sedan |
Seventh = restraint code
|
Eighth = the engine:
|
Ninth = check digit |
10th = model year, "N" for 1992 |
11th = the assembly plant |
The remaining six digits identify the production sequence number |
