Location: Ontario, Canada | Yes, Brad, the body plate is obviously showing two tone blue paint. That is certainly " more correct" than the pop-riveted VIN plate!
The owner has a mysterious historical trail to chase! I can offer a fun clue. The body plate is coded for "shaded sun visors". These plastic visors were a rare option for 57 Dodges seldom seen today! So, Mr. owner, how is your car actually equipped?
