Re: VIN Plate Decode

Thanks Owen. Just today I drove an original 1956 Clipper deluxe here in Tucson. The attached picture shows the untouched VIN plate without rivets or screws for 55-56's. My counsel for fellows in the hobby is to always seek answers if there are indicators that something has been changed. If thereafter a reasonable explanation is encountered, one can then move on with a better understanding of the auto's lineage.

The VIN plate on the 5587 is from another original car; albeit from a junk yard here in southern Arizona and again without rivets and screws.
