Some of these cars and I do not know how long it lasted had the information on the dash vin plate only. It is a different vin plate from what most of us are used to but in the early cars this alternate plate was used and there was no door vin number plate. Vin 500 is the same way in Cleveland and it is the FIRST PRODUCTION CAR so like many other things since the dash can be easily removed my guess is that they added the second vin number to the body for better control and less chance of vin number swapping.
