Re: [FWDLK] VINNY & the TAGS

[Alan Milne <mwajm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly, on the cars we have here('57&'58 Dodge CR, '58 Firesweep, '58
Diplomat)  the VIN tag on each one is polished stainless(unpainted) but is
fixed to the door post with a couple of small screws. These are all right
hand drive cars though!

Regards to all,
