I have a close friend that has built a half dozen street rods,most old cars (30's to 40's models) do not have titles or even VIN's from back in that era or at least VINs that can be found or read...... I asked him about that,here in Louisiana once you build a car with NO VIN you apply to the DMV for a VIN,a state trooper will come out and inspect the car to see that it complies with all the laws (turn signals/brake lights,w/s wipers/etc.etc.) and if he deems it road worthy,the state police then issue that vehicle a VIN,you take that paperwork to the DMV and get your title and license,same holds true for home-made utility trailers and such.....

I once took three junked out boat trailers and made one good one with the useable parts,state trooper inspection took all of five minutes,he stamped a new VIN on the tongue of the trailer and gave me the paper work,10 minutes at the DMV and I had a new title and license.........

OK: that's another of the other 49........
