Vehicle Number Decode

I am trying to decode a vehicle number from the data plate on the firewall for a 1939 one twenty. However, the number is C01141 which appears to possibly be a theft proof number? Could this be a replacement data plate and the wrong number was stamped? I appreciate any information. Thank you

It might be an Engine Serial Number? Although 1940 had a "C" prefix while 1939 had a "B" prefix. Check the Serial Number stamped on your Engine. Just food for thought.

If that's the number stamped on the boss on the driver's side of the block, then it's an engine number but it should not begin with C0 as far as I know. If it IS an engine number, as Mal said, it is a 1940 engine which began with C for that year while 1939 began with B but none had the first digit as 0. Maybe photos of the data place and of the car itself would help.
