The plate that you've posted a pic of is the GVW and model ID plate, not the vin plate. The vin plate will be on the driver's side door lock pillar, and will have a 10-11 digit (depending on assembly plant) number stamped on it, it should llok like this-3EPH199432- and have the Chevrolet name stamped over it. Just from the pix you posted, it looks like an early First Series '47, and either has had the engine overhauled or replaced judging from the color (Chevy Red, should be Blue-Grey)
One more thing, it is preferred that you link in your pix rather than posting them direct. It takes much less bandwidth that way, and also helps out members who arent on broadband or hi-speed to see your pix.
