.. and of course you expect that to happen when exactly?? See on
this side of the border/water they have no idea from whence the law
originated nor do they care. If the "computer" says no then the
answer is "no" and "what part of this don't you understand?" That
said, in Louisiana, there is a little used "antique car policy" and
by being a member of a car club (Local or national), and having a
notarized bill of sale from someone for a car that is over 25 (?)
years old, and having a physical inspection by an officer of the law
I can get a new title to anything. Period. All those old junked
SAABs I have now have titles.. and since they don't know a SAAB 93
from a Bugeye Sprite around here I could just as well have titled
those cars as Porsches...
