Vin. tag is located on passenger side front door jam.
The forward jamb. The side with the hinges connect with the front of the car.

2- #5 Clutch head screws. 1/4" long. That IS the O.E. fastener.

Just checked my '48 Cabriolet and the plate is attached by two clutch head screws as described above. I'd like to see a picture of Scott's 48 Cabriolet mentioned above. Tell me how...

PDXjoe,
To see the photo of that 48 cabriolet go to the 37-42 forum; open the "1941 Sort Sedan" topic by bullpup; open his website listed in the message; scroll down until you see a series of buttons; click on the one named "CLASSIC CARS"; then click on button #6 and scroll all the way to the bottom to see the 48.
Hope I got all that right and hope it helps.
Lotsa great Chevy pics on that site.
