Don't think it had a vin plate. The rad crest is the 1928 model year style of blue D on white background, so M2 April 1 1928 to July 31 1928.
Any chance MOT / DOT ? in California can supply info as to vin off the 1951 Calif license plates ownership 5X 4 482. Just a thought seeing as you have that much.
Another thought is engine serial plate don't they show what plant the car was built at ? That would give you the C, E or T vin suffix as M2 not built in Lansing.
Once the vin / serials etc are known we can add this M2 to the 1928 Durant's in the Registry.
