Patrick, If it's legit, I'd say it's pretty damn rare. -But it doesn't match the orientation of the tag on VIN 500. I uploaded a picture to your album of the VIN 500 tag. Lawrence's VIN 538 tag also has the same orientation as 500 (I happened to have a pic of his tag handy that he sent me). It could very well be a reproduction. If not, it might be a reject piece --in which case it would be even rarer. How did you get a hold of it?

It is a blank VIN plate off of a 500 series car, which includes the rare printing that some on the list have mentioned differs from the other production cars. My guess is that a worker pocketed it as a souvenir during the first month of production. I placed pictures of it in the photo albums under "Blank 500 Series VIN Plate". I thought it was a unique item and I snatched it up, but maybe it really isn't as rare as I think. Any thoughts would be appreciated, either on or off the DML. -Patrick C.
