Thank you all for your great help and advice! Richard from the technical services dept. at the N.Y. D.M.V. reviewed the information that I provided from the member's of the early ford V-8 club and he told to just go to the D.M.V. and fill out a M V-82 form and check off to amend ,bring all my pictures and paper work, and give it to a supervisor , and said that if their are any problem's for them to call him, and he will straighten it out. Almost success !

Dominic - if your car original and you have the original floor matting in I strongly encourage you to not attempt to remove the floorboards/toe boards. From personal experience the flooring that old will likely crack, tear, etc., and, in addition to TomO's concern, and to further kube4o's points on originality in other threads, you want to maintain the originality in as quality a state as much as possible. Exhaust all other solutions before attempting this. If you ultimately find yourself with no other solution then come back here for advice before touching the matting. Good luck! Steve

I am sorry that it seems that you still have a problem. If the state does not correct the typo, you may have to consult an attorney.

Tom , me and my son went to see the trooper's today to try and get my vin"s prefix number straightened out. They said to go and talk to the D.M.V. The D.MV. gave me a telephone number for specialty vin. problem's. I called and spoke to Richard and explained that somewhere along the history of the car the prefix of the vin had gotten a typo . I sent him photo's of all the written documentation, including" Vanpelt" and the paper's from Dan Krehbiel- Frame and engine serial number's along with a picture's of my front frame number which clearly show's the number" 18 " prefix. He told me that he would look into it, but unless I get a letter from" Ford" or show somewhere where" Ford "states in writing that in 1940 they only had the three prefix's one being "18" for 85H.P. or "54' for 60 H.P. or "99" for 90H.P. This will show that they never had a "16" prefix

Tom I appreciate all the good advice .I am going to copy this page that you posted, and with the rest of my paper work go in person and see what they say. If they what to see the car, it will just take a few weeks for the roads to get cleaned up from all the salt.

Domenic, the two toe boards have to be removed before the transmission cover can be removed. Unless you have another reason to remove it, I would not do it until there is another reason. If your seals are original to the car, they have probably turned to goo by now and if you remove the boards, you will have to install reproduction seals or the engine noise will be very loud inside the car. The prefix is the only part of your title that is in question and if you can show that Ford did not use that prefix in 1940, a reasonable official should issue a corrected title. There are many sources for Ford Serial number ranges by year. Check the local library and Van Pelts web site. Try printing the list from VanPelts web site and bringing it with you to the DMV office to see if they will accept it. http://vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_serialnumbers.htm
