If you open the trunk and look on he drivers side underneath the seal half way down there might be a vin number. Chrysler as a rule did not use matching vin numbers till 68 or 69 but I have been told that sme cars had them stamped on the body. Whether it's true or not I really dont know. If you do not have a VIN tag you can reconstruct the VIN from the fender tag. I did that with my 63 880. I had no vin tag. I was able to get the original IBM punch card from Chrysler (copy) by using the fender tag info. The punch card has you VIN on it as well as you sequence number. That will match up with your fender tag. If you have a VIN number (on your paperwork) look at the sequence number on your fender tag. Those two numbers should match. It can be done. I have my car registered with a Title here in Florida and I had NO VIN TAG!
