Anamoly - What is it?

[D.Yaros]

I stumbled across this car on eBay, and challenged the seller.  He responded with the VIN, that confirms this is a 1955.  What gives?  See attached pics.

Or maybe its just a tag job thats been sitting in hiding all these years.

Too bad about that right bullet.

Wiper arms are 54 too.

Looks like a 1954 60 special, going by the upholstery panel on the doors, and by the missing skirt on the passengers side.   

[Otto Skorzeny]

Yes it's clearly a '54 60 Special. Notice the 60S only chrome hash marks on the quarter panel just in front of the wheel opening. It's a 54 6019 not a 55 6219. Someone changed the data plate at some point in it's life thinking the average Joe wouldn't know the difference.

Probably stolen or salvaged a long time ago and put on to title it.

Ask him what the numbers on the door panel tag say.

[Steve Passmore]

Those body tag rivets definitely show signs of being messed with.

[The Tassie Devil(le)]

Yes, very suspect rivets.

He's reading the VIN on the title, NOT the frame or motor. Just another Ebayer in denial. I always love those late production ideas! He'd better fix the issue now before it causes some buyer who needs to get the car verified lots of grief.  Lou, I think your frame scenerio is a little far fetched. LOL. Bob

Well, at least I generated a bit of discussion!

Youseguys confirmed my analysis, for which I thank you.  I do not pretend to be a Caddy expert, but it sure looked like a 54 to me.  If it looks and quacks like ....
