Jurgen,
You didn't by any chance purchase this vehicle from Bellevue (near Seattle, 
Washington) did you?  That's where I bought mine.  My VIN number is 
AN5L23245 which would be in the same neighborhood as the car you describe 
(Late 1959).  My car however, has number plates in the door which suggest 
that it is a much later car (in the 44000 to 45000 range) (Late 1960).  
Someone has definately done something to my car at some point, I now have to 
figure out if it was a legal 'body swap' because the original body was 
damaged or something, or if someone has done something illegal.  I would 
sure hate for that to be the case as I have done a lot to this car since 
buying it.  Of course, I would rather know for sure and do the right thing 
now.  Can anyone on the list help?  I think maybe I should apply for two of 
the BMIHT certificates.  One for VIN AN5L23245 and one for the body number 
that appears in front of the right door.  Can they research the car from 
this number?  Then, I guess a call to the DMV about what is the status of 
the other VIN number when I find it.

By the way, my car is registered as a 1960, but that doesn't really help as 
the VIN is from a car made in 1959 and the body plate is from a car made in 
1960.
