vin number

[stock_vl]

sorry if this isnt exactly the correct post but wasnt really too sure where else to go...

my dad seen on tv how you could go online and search for the history of your car and what its done and who's done what etc....

i went to search for it but couldn't as i cant seem to find the vin number..

i own a vl calais 1986 model.

i searched near all the door locks on the frame thing as it said on a site and also everywhere under the hood. i did notice that there had been some sort of a tin plate like what are used for the engine numbers and etc had been pulled off. it was on the drivers side under the hood on the shocker thing...

if you understand....

plz tell if there is anyway i can find my vin. it was registered not long ago so it would have to have it somewhere??
