Please note that in the three locations where the chassis number is found, it has been discovered that the steering column number and door sill pate number match one another, but the number stamped into the rear frame interestingly has two digits reversed. Although unconfirmed by the factory, it is strongly believed that this is merely attributable to a typographical error in period and therefore is believed to not put the car’s purity in question.
