Hi Guys, Thanks for your helpfull answers! I guess it would remain a puzzle then to find out the exact date ... I don't have any other paperwork then the title of the car and don't know the first owner. The previous owner was a mr. Joe Paul Coffaro, that that ring a bell? Don't know if he was a member of the list too at the time he ownes the car? I bought the car last summer at Brasher's Car Auction in CA (in a little town called Rio Linda), they told me the car was confiscated and sold by the bank.... Our local DMV always wants to know the exact date, so what I will do is give them one :) Let us say 4 June 1960 would be a nice one, cause I bought the car on 4 June last year. Let them proof then that it isn't the correct date LOL Thank you all for your advice, Robert Op Za, 11 maart, 2006 6:00 am, schreef Dick Benjamin: > The license plate issued in 1960 might be some help in finding the > approximate time of initial registration, but the black plate now on it > won't help at all, as that one was issued during the 1963 exchange of > plates that took place on all cars in California.
