* Dashboard: Visible through the windshield on the driver's side. This is usually the easiest place to find it.
* Driver's side doorjamb: Etched into the metal of the doorjamb.
* Vehicle title/registration: The VIN will be listed on the title or registration documents for the vehicle.
While the dashboard and doorjamb are the most common locations, the exact visibility might depend on the year and trim level of the Contour. If you're having trouble finding it in the usual spots, checking your vehicle's paperwork is the next best option.
