Very interesting if it's the "real deal". From what I understand from various "sources" it's the FRAME that constitutes an "original" car. Some very old restored cars may have only a fraction of the "frame" left. I suspect when it comes to the old "classics", especially in Europe, their "standards" may be different than ours.

On the one hand, I would rather see a restored mostly accurate very rare vehicle than to have NO vehicle at all.

However, Jay Leno points out there are more "authentic Dusengbergs" now in existence than were ever made in the first place! Whats wrong with that picture?

It's possible this CSX frame would fall into Leno's argument. Time will tell, as will the VIN number!
