ca blue vin plate question.

If "they" mention the # on the frame, UNDER the body, just say, "It's probably rusted away, after 83 years"!
At the DMV window, it always helps me If I have a nice pic of the car & wear a Model A shirt or hat, & I also LIMP, with a GRIMACE of PAIN! I don't "think" they allow Dogs there??
Also, if they have an old guy workin' a window, request HIM! If it's a cute gal, tell her she looks like your DAUGHTER!

Have the picture framed - like you just took it off your piano to bring it to the DMV. And wear a baseball cap with POW/MIA logo on it.



Not to denigrate the POW/MIA situation - or those that support a worthy cause.

But you're trying to meet an expectation on the part of a DMV clerk.

And you could ask them to hurry up because your dog is in the car?

Maybe pushing it a little...

check with your local clubs
there are Vin Verifiers out there
you pay them a fee and they come to your house inspect the car and they do all the paperwork
last year we got three cars vin verified
one was from Arizona with just a bill of sale
took her about 1/2 hr for all three vehicles
in about three weeks we had the titles in hand
she was retired from the DMV
everything was above board and legal
we also are in california
sooo easy

Seriously, DMV problems are often "clouded" & sometimes open to interpretation. I have 2 friends that "gave up" & went home, to return at a later date at a different DMV office & a different person & got it registered with NO problems !
Minerva was an Early '30- 45-B, assembled in San Francisco & her L/F fender had a tasteful cutaway in the rear edge, above the frame, & the frame #, complete with stars, stamped there. I DOUBT that it was FACTORY done??
Has anyone ever tried to cut an access hole in the sub-rail, to try to see the frame number?
