Sammamish,
Of course my 48 doesn't have a VIN number since they didn't exist in 48. But the number on the plate is the original engine number. However, my engine has been replaced with a newer engine. That doesn't change my ID plate. It still is registered by the original engine number, not the newer one. If you were to get a reproduction ID plate, then punch the original number as it came from the factory. I don't know if anyone is making reproduction plates for 1942. Anyone have a picture of one? Are they different than the AD plates?
