Hi, new to this group... first post.
I recently purchased a 1951 Mercury Monarch and am looking for information on the VIN Tag. here is the info as it is on the tag.

ENGINE 1C-8954 MODEL 0374
TRIM - AC PAINT 20
SERIAL - 03(Possibly C3, hard to make out) 74 H51 - 73825

There is also another tag on the Passenger side A-Pillar but it has so much paint on it that I cannot make it out... will clean it up for further investigation.
I have also been told that there used to be a Mercury Manufacture Plant in Burnaby BRITISH COLUMBIA many years ago, and since this car came from the Abbotsford area I am curious to see if it a BC Manufactured car. Any info on that would be great as well.
Thanks in advance.
PS... looks like I missed the 'R' in Monarch on my profile name...oops!
