I recieved my 57' Ford as a gift from my uncle. He has registrations etc etc (From New York). But I'm in FL, and they say they won't register it unless I have a title. He states that the 57 Fairlane never had a title. I call BS!!!!



Can someone please help me figure this out...



Also, I looked into getting a duplicate title made in NY and just getting it transfered to me that way. But, I looked at the duplicate title form and it says it's for 73' and newer cars...



SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!?!?!?!?

check and see if you can get a bonded title.

does the 57 have a data(vin) plate if it has one there might be a way to get a title .Carl

Yes, it does have a vin #. I'm thinking my best bet is to try and find a way to get a title from NY

You may have to get your uncle apply for a lost title with in information off the car, then transfer it to you.

A 57 ford from NY would not have had a title, I think the info you have on 73 and up is correct.

NY registrations that can be transfered will have a space on the back to transfer the vehicle to the new owner, later titled cars have registrations marked non transferable.

You wil never get NY to issue a title for the car as they never had one.

The old signed registration and a written and signed bill of sale is all that would be required in NY.

Try again in FLA and if you are lucky you may get someone in DMV that knows what they are talking about.

Also search the NY DMV web site, I remember seeing title vs year info there

Okay, thank you for this info. This is what my uncle and I were originall told, but the person at the FL DMV said there HAS to be a title. I guess I'm going back down to the DMV to raise hell in the morning. Sad thing is, I just sent the registration and bill of sale back to him in NY....

Found this on NYS DMV site, scroll almost to the bottom for transfer from private owner info

Raising hell at DMV rarely helps. They are some of the smallest of bureaucrats and will dig in for the long haul. You need to talk to different folks there. Someone knows what you have to do. Most states have a provision for vehicles without titles. New Hampshire does not issue titles for vehicles over 15 years old. When I was reassigned to Texas they flat refused to register my 41 Convertible because I only had a bill of sale. It took some searching and questioning but I found that all I had to do was have a state trooper confirm my VIN so they could run it against stolen vehicles. Suddenly no more problem. Talk to local hot rod clubs. Those guys go through this stuff all the time. Chuck in NH

Got a "bonded" title here in AZ for my 55 for $100(bond and title fee based on depreciated value, not "real value".)  It was quick and virtually pain free.  If your time is at all valuable, I would reccomend this route.  It was too easy.
