I don't have the plate but I do have a frame number. A star followed by a 10 digit number and another star. everything so far has pointed to an original frame but I need to decode frame numbers.

A '56 should be F10V6K28160.

If that's the case, it would be:

F10=F100
V=272 2V V8
6=1956
K=Kansas City plant
28160=Production sequence
