Hello, I just bought a very rusted out 37 Sedan Delivery. Am trying to get it titled. The VIN# is stamped in three places as most of you all know. The only place that has anything legible is the location just front of the body close to the steering box location. I cleaned it as best as I could, then used a high powered magnifying headset to scrutinize the number. I located the star, but then was surprised by the numbers that followed (A23077). Please see attached pdf. This is absolutely inconsistent with everything I have read (I have the Club's 37 Ford Book and others). I have another Sedan Delivery and it has the correct VIN# format, e.g. 18-#########. So, I really need some help in determining if the stamping is correct. It looks very authentic and this car is so old and rusted that I can' help believe that the frame is the original, but you never know. I see no modifications to the frame and everything, including the rear wood floor bracing, is correct. Any ideas??? Thanks, gregg

for some reason the pdf is not there. Here it is again. Gregg just tried clicking on it in this response. It doesn't show up, not sure what to do...

It does not sound right, unless somebody had a number stamped in for a title , fake or real. I get file 404 trying to see the pic.

Third try is the charm, but WOW a lot of work. I got the email from Gregg and opened it in my apple desktop. Next I took a "screen shot" (command, shift, three). Next I imported the screen shot into "Photos" and cropped it. Then I exported it to my desktop as a jpeg and finally posted it on the forum from my desktop. Why it didn't work for the first two try I can't explain. There must be an easier way but I am going to stop while I am ahead. If anyone can't see the picture please post. Sorry but the picture seems to me to generate more questions than answers. Charlie Stephens

Could the Sedan Delivery come from Argentina? I have no idea what the Argentine serial numbers were, but a lot of older Fords were imported from there in the 1960's and early 1970's
