I was wondering about the stated year, 1952. My car is almost 3800 chassis numbers higher and it's a 51. T Register says the car has a build date of 3 July 1951. Must have sat on a lot for a long time.

Mine was titled as a '54 in Florida til last year. The trouper doing the inspection changed it when titling to me.

What did he change it to and why? What is your chassis number if you don't mind saying?

28350. It was titled in FL to the 2nd owner in 1960 (whom I bought it from) as a 54. Likely a typo that nobody caught. I can't tell you about the original title.

The state of NC sends a theft and fraud state trooper to write a report that DMV uses to generate titles for cars out of state cars >25 yo.

They inspect the car, the data plate(s), paperwork, etc.

I had to show 4 receipts when generating a new title for my 'glass hot rod last year. Engine, trans, frame, body. They then create a VIN plate for you or you can use the frame manufacturers number if available.

If your car has a title, they're pretty much happy as long as the car hasn't been cut-up/glued back together from other cars. They're really after chop shops.

I like the process, my cars are officially good to go. Each time, I had my title, reg and temp plate in my hand in less than 24 hours.

Thanks, very interesting. I'm facing a similar situation with a Corvette. The Ohio BMV is not always the easiest place to do business.
