Yes sir, in all three places. The same number is also on the Western Union Telegram that notified the dealer that the car was built and ready to be picked up at the Rotunda.

Wow. That is amazing. This could create a problem if this car is ever registered for sale in an auction such as Barrett Jackson. They have experts inspect all the cars for proper VIN identification and numbering. Ask me how I know this........40larry

In my opinion there should be no issue. Having the title match the frame and all of the supporting documents I'd think should actually add to intrigue (read: value).
