Here is some information....

From my lookup tool at https://www.ply33.com/Misc/vin

 

Serial Number	CE-000-L
Found in range	CY-050-P to CD-999-D
Serial	29507 of 49499
Year	1928-29
Make	Chrysler
Model Name	75
Model Code	R
Plant	Detroit
Engine	6 cylinder 248.9 cu.in. L-head
Wheelbase	121 inches
FedCo Number	CE-000-L

 

But it looks like the table posted by @keiser31 gives a little more information in that it shows the month of the build.

Again from my lookup tool web page:

 

Engine Number	R-278450
Found in range	250001 to 309150
Serial	28450 of 59150
Year	1929
Make	Chrysler
Model	Model 75
Engineering Code	R
Type	Inline, L-Head
Cylinders	6
Bore and Stroke	3-1/4x5
Cu.In.	248.9
Compression	5.2:1 std, 6.0:1 opt
BHP	75@3200 std, 85@32004opt
Source	Standard Catalog of American Cars 1805-1942

 

So that is the correct engine for your car and since both the FedCo number and the engine numbers are from around the middle of the sequences (middle of production run) there is a good chance that you have the original engine in that car.

That look up tool is pretty cool.
