I'd bet that David B. registered his car in 2007 or earlier. It was still an option then but only because DMV was doing it wrong. They didn't even look at my prior MA registration and title for CA registration - just put it through the SB-100 hoops.

This is old territory. In the March 2010 issue of Sports Car Market, Robert Morgester the Assistant AG in CA states that CA must accept a
valid out of state 1965 Ford title, because CA law requires that "full faith and credit" be given to other states' titles.
"But," Morgester cautions, "the key word here is 'valid.' The owner would have to establish that a full disclosure of all pertinent facts was made to the other state before title was issued. Otherwise, the title is not 'validly issued' and California would not have to honor it."
