This is what I found...others can chime in and let me know if I'm wrong. They should be able to do a VIN# check or history at your local DMV office. I just went thru something similar like this today with a 55 Chevy car. It's a pain. My VIN# on the car didn't match the title.....ohh boy!

Now starts the debate haha! I vote O for Oakland. Oshawa vin marking is “1” I believe. Try this vinwiz.com vin decoder for our older trucks.
I have a 63 C50 also has O and definitely not built in Canada eh!
Just make sure when you go to DMV they know it’s a letter O not a Zero. Maybe thats why it didn’t come up in their system

This matches what my book says, Letter 'O' for Oakland and number '1' for Oshawa, ON
