Ford changed the fonts on some of the characters (1, 6, and 9) to make it harder for bad guys (including un-scrupulous GOOD guys) to alter serial numbers. The "normal-looking" "1" was replaced at this time with an upper-case letter "I", as were the changed-font "6" and "9". Thank you to Mac VanPelt for the examples below. DD
