Are we to believe MB used two Philips screws (non-stainless steel judging from the rust!) to hold the VIN plate onto the car??

More than likely its an import thing. My vin plate is custom engraved with the vin and the importers name, but thats the one mounted on the door jamb. I would def check the vin on the bulkhead. To bad you cant see it in the pics.

I wonder about this car. If it passed inspection then a VIN plate would have been required in the window and on the door jamb.....

Why doesnt the hood even out with the corners of the fenders?
