I've done the searches and come up with some info concerning a car I have.
Just checking if I'm looking at this right as the registration shows something different.
Body tag frame # 1 0919 852 4th week of June 55(?)
Body # 819 286 1st week of January 55 (?)
actual frame /chassis # 1487876 2nd week of Feb 57(?)
That sound like the right time frame for these #'s ?
This would explain why the owner had it regd and also sold it to me as a 57.
This explains the ribbed doors, and the extra big opening for the ragtop....the thing I'm trying to figure out is the rear apron has no cutouts for exhaust. Apron is an H apron and has not been welded on...

Yea it is regged by the frame (pan). So someone swapped the body to an older early 55 bug. Early 55's have no cutout for exhaust and many other details that belong to < mid 55's.
