Johan - If the serial no. begins M5511 or M5541, then that is the VIN number. I don't know 59 Chryslers, but in the case of 59 Dodges, the VIN numbers were moved from the tag on the A-post to the data plate, even though the small holes in the A-post remain, leading people to believe that there is something missing. I have this documented in the 59 Dodge technical service bulletins.
