Matt, my VIN is held onto the cowl with a pair of screws, top left as you
describe.  I recall conversations about this on the forwardlook newsgroup
(you really ought to check it out, BTW -- www.forwardlook.net), but I forget
the details.  I'm copying the '59 mailing list too, in case someone would
like to reply.  If your interested in subscribing, go to
www.59sportfury.net/listserv .

List members -- Matt has a "handyman's special" '59, formerly a taxicab.
I'll be posting his pix and story soon...
