1997 canadian itr VIN question

Hello all,
I was wondering if the 1997 canadian itr came with VINs on the hood/trunk/bumpers/fenders?
Is there a VIN in the motor and trans (the green plate)?
I know there are VINs on the dash and firewall.
Thanks in advance

Probably they didn't really think about it at that time? Vin numbers on cars body panels are kind of a modern thing afaik.

I'm pretty sure our '97s were the same as US cars except for speedo in KPH and DRLs. What info are you looking for?

I was thinking the same but wanted to confirm with a knowledgeable resource. Does your 97 have a faux carbon fiber instrument cluster?
Not having any VINs, not even on the engine and trans, was concerning until I was made aware.

US 1997 & 1998 did not have the faux carbon fiber interior trim.
I am confirming if US 1997's had VIN stickers.
