When you open the drivers door, it shoud be inside, on the cowl, above the hinges.
I've only seen them above that, on the drivers roof piller, on tri-5 chevys.
If you see evidence of 2 rivets, it probably fell off - the rivets corrode!!

1946 - 1997 Olds VIN # decoder here
http://v8cars.hu/oldsvin/decode.php
And no it won't tell you trans or engine data, just year, make, model, plant and serial #
Cowl tag will tell you a bit more such as body & interior color(s) and style then an accessory or two.
