Long time Bricklin Owner and Enthusiast,  Jim Kelliher, provided the following information on the Frame Number:  " Well, I have started pulling 1255 apart and found it's vin in the front frame rail in the engine compartment. Just thought I'd pass this along, thought it might be of use to someone. The stamp reads 5S001255 matching the vin on the car. It appears on the front r frame rail below the core support ".  Many thanks to Jim Kelliher for the information about the Frame Number, and sharing his photos pertaining to VIN 1255 on this page.
