For the record, it was never my intent to question the veracity of this car, but rather to show with amusement what some people do as a temporary (hopefully) solution to holding a vin tag in place. Maybe it was an old photo and the owner got tired of removing the rivet to compare the Ford vin. I also remember distinctly from an old magazine that someone attached a snowplow shovel to the front end of a 66 Hertz.
