Not disagreein' but apparently the inspectors have their own preferences and there must be a lot of leeway in how they can interpret the rules -- if there even are any rules for old cars that have fallen out of the system, do not have modern VINs, and have limited old paperwork. At least that one had very few problems getting registered compared to my first Packard.

My first 56 was a miserable DMV experience and I even had signed paperwork. Problem on that car was the owners had sold the car to another party and signed off on the wrong line of the form. The other party had never registered the car so it had sat unregistered for years and was out of the system when I bought it. During that time the original owners had died so couldn't resign the paperwork that was given to me. Fun times, let me tell you and each DMV clerk had their own interpretation of what was needed for correcting the problem.
