Dave, I think he is referring to the registration in 58 using what is assumed to be the frame number. It is listed as LGHTDL (whatever that means) and a 4 cyl. I do not know 32 models that well, but did a roadster every come with a 4 cylinder? I also do not know other states laws, but around here they go by the frame serial number and the body sitting on the frame doesn't much matter (as long as it looks somewhat original). You really can't tell much about which body was on which frame with the original serial numbers anyway within an engine group.

Did any of the custom builders at the time use any frames other than the assembly line frames?

By the way, I find topics like this interesting because it is an area I know virtually nothing about!
