Dealers invoice is different from Birth certificate. Here is the way it is stated on the Stiftung AutoMuseum certificate:

Vehicle Ident. Nr.: 1-0541 532
Model: VW Sedan de luxe
Engine No: 1-655 599, 25bhp, 1/1 liter
Colour: L19, Atlantic Green
Options: 20/67/89
Built on: 10 October 1953
Left factory on 19 October 1953
Country of destination VW Canada Ltd., Toronto

Left factory, is not the date shipped......... Embarassed
Check your Birth Cetificate again Eric. As Marcus points out, That is not the shipping date.
