Re: 56 crown vic glass top
If it was removed and filled in, there will be tell-tale signs of body work. Same if the whole top was cut off and replaced.

Re: 56 crown vic glass top
The VIN plate is not a sure thing as reproductions are available that the manufacturer will change most things on request except the VIN.

The reputable folks who sell replacement data plates wont change the numbers of the serial number,body style,etc. They will change paint color codes and interior trim codes. There reasoning for allowing those changes are that if you were buying the car as new you should be able to get what color and interior combinations you wanted. Now I guess there could be some sorta shady charactors who would bogus a plate. BUYER BEWARE !!!!! Oldmics |

Re: 56 crown vic glass top
Sad on the bogus plates. I would be wary of a new looking plate and premium price. The plate should look 60+ years old. If it was a new plate seller should have the old one or state there wasn't one and adjust the price.

Re: 56 crown vic glass top
I usually go one the a$$umption everyone is basically honest but human nature is what it is.
Case in point - http://oscarmotorcars.com/ford-listi...p-3-speed.html Quote:
You don't know if the seller was just not knowledgeable or trying to pull something. Big difference between a restoration and resto-mod.
