I'm no expert, and I welcome your opinions on this. Is it a factory original VIN plate and rivets? My concerns are: would'nt there be the chyrsler logo under the number, and are those round rivets I'm seeing?
Thanks in advance!

Looks like someone painted it

That VIN plate has been poorly repainted and the Chrysler logo has not been reapplied. The rivets in the picture are not round.

Okay; thank you! That makes sense: I had'nt considered that it may be a painted original, which explains the missing logo and a softer look to the rivets.
