Re: Tracing back your car's history.

You're a lucky guy! Having a trail like that on a car of that vintage is scarce. Problem I have, we're having a new title made because the elderly owner passed, he had bought and restored the car originally around 1971 in Pennsylvania, moved to Florida.

Some of the car's paperwork still exists, but the title was long lost so working with the relatives and a title company to get the new one - taking entirely too long. Car was sold through a dealer in Ohio. Reason I'm curious about the owner, in the paperwork there's 1930/1931 parking passes for the car at the White House and the key fob is a bronze badge-looking thing that had something to do with the car's White House parking. According to the family, the old guy had said it was a White House motorcade car, but I'm more inclined it to think it just belonged to a politician who visited there occasionally - car seems to have spent most of its life in Pennsylvania.
