Not Ranked
I guess it's really semantics. Car serial numbers may have been referred to as Identification Numbers prior to 1981, but the industry wide, 17-digit "VIN" system wasn't in place back then.
Detroit mfg's would use each alphanumeric digit to indicate a configuration item or choice, then end it with a sequence number.
You saw them more likely called serial numbers back then:
