Narve N Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is anyone able to identify this plaque (lower in pic) as something that could have been issued by the Pennsylvania DMV as part of their procedure for reissuing a VIN? Alternatively, is anyone able to identify it as nothing that would have been in the Penna DMV inventory? I need some sort of confirmation to judge whether to complain formally to the Norwegian DMV about their refusal to accept it as proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It looks like a Pennsylvania re-issue, to me. Most original plates had only numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Eight Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) I agree with keiser31 that the plate is some type of re-issue plate but I don't think it is the current official re-issue plate PA uses. Here is an example of a re-issued PA VIN plate: It is possible your plate could still be an older PA issued VIN plate.

dep5 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Is anyone able to identify this plaque (lower in pic)Clearly, it is a reproduction of a 1931 and later era Chrysler Product Serial number tag that has been stamped with a Pennsylvania DMV ID and pop riveted to the car in question. This tag is normally placed on the RH door hinge pillar. Edited April 7, 2013 by dep5 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that car out of Kansas and the same number was on the Kansas title. The tag on the Desoto looks like it came on the car as it has the patina of the rest of the car.

Narve N Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 dep5 got it right I believe. I knew I had seen that type of plate before, and of course it is a replica 30 and newer Mopar VIN-plate. So much for the plate which is very different from the current type that vwlfan provided an example of. Anyone believe that the number issued ("SF4997PA") is likely as a PN reissued VIN?

PN DMV doesn't want to communicate. I even had Marty Lum seek them out to no avail. Luckily the Norwegian DMV finally agreed that the number given could be legit, and issued a Norwegian registration based on the VIN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
