Your last 6 digits are stamped on the firewall.  I know if you have a non a/c car and remove the blower motor, you usually can see them.  I'm not sure about an a/c car.  

Looks like this through the blower motor hole.

I do have an a/c car, pulled the blower and it looks the same. same hole in the firewall. no numbers. If they are there, must be behind the "suitcase" somewhere.

I see why we have cabin air filters nowadays...

There is some variation by final assembly location; Oshawa and Baltimore were known to stamp a partial VIN in that area. Flint, for example, did not.
