Very interesting. I'll check these places but I don't understand why the engine number would be stamped into the frame unless this was a common practice for the local municipality. Engines can be replaced over the years not always a good choice for a VIN. I had a trailer that the state inspection people stamped the VIN number on to the frame because the trailer only had a decal. Lots of things happen after almost 90 years. I have an appointment with the state police to have my car inspected. Since I lost the body tag it breaks the proof of ownership. I am pretty sure they will stamp the VIN some ware on the frame. Just a big hassle but I guess part of old car ownership. I have had my car titled in Virginia for the past 10 years along with proof of purchase and title transfer from Florida. Delaware is interested in getting the car recorded properly and in this we are on the same page. So hopefully I will walk away with my car properly identified as a 1929 U under the FEDCO serial number.
