Sorry, I don't have any information regarding your cars past owners. I am lucky to be the second owner of my 51. The YOM plates on the car now as well as the dealer license plate frame on the front are original to the car. The owners were good enough to have kept the plates in the trunk after they were replaced by the yellow California plates that came out in 1956. Wish they would have kept the yellow plates as well. In the glove box was the temporary receipt for the DMV fees dated 9/29/51 that shows the license plate number issued at the time as well as the engine number. The fee was $25.00 to register it in 51. Not bad for a new car.
