That's a growing problem for anyone with an old car, let alone one that is 83 years old. The passage of time has resulted in a loss of knowledge about all the variations in local titling and registration practices in the past, many of which have changed in the ensuing years. When you try explain that some jurisdictions did not issue titles back in the day to someone young enough to be your grandchild, you often get a blank, suspicious look, which in some cases suggest that you're trying to pull a fast one. As often as not, there's no one in the office that the clerk can turn to for enlightenment.
