Wow Gene........a quiz!!! Nothing is as it appears. I caught a few of the items mentioned here by everyone, but certainly not all of them. The first thing I noticed was the odd VIN. Gene, what the heck kind of monitor and eyeballs do you have.......I couldn't see half the engine details you mentioned even after you listed them and I looked again. WOW what an eye you have buddy.....but then you have probably been looking a lot longer than I have. As far as the appraiser goes, you have to remember who he is working for!!! Good reason to hire your own. EDIT: Maybe I'll hire that appraiser and put my Fleetline on ebay......or even send to Barrett-Jackson... Thats why he is the"Gene".

42 Bill. Don't bring it to Ohio with Blue Dots. You'll get a ticket. They are not legal here.

So my Blue Dot is still illegal, eh?
Here I am, running around Ohio every single day in my '53 pick-em-up truck, which has a Blue Dot. ( But only one - none of that sissy optional extra right side taillight for me, nosirree. )
No cop has ever noticed. I think they are too shocked by seeing the vehicle go past in February when it is only 5 degrees out. Not to mention, they are probably too young to know what a Blue Dot is!!!

The blue dots are ilegal in Wisconsin also and they will stop you for not having a front plate unless its cold outside. Just have some one drive your vehicle with blue dots while you follow them.The brake lights are almost impossible to see during the day.

I think blue dots are illegal in Oregon also. But I've run them on various (usually older) cars for years. Never had any trouble. I suppose if you were driving crazy or drunk or whatever and got stopped for that and the cop got pissed, he could write you up for the blue dots also. Not likely in an older car IF you're minding your P's and Q's.
As for the front plates, they are NOT required in Oregon on older cars with permanent plates or "limited use" plates. On the newer cars with "regular" registration, front plates (and rear) are required. Here again, I think the cops cut some slack. My 56 has regular registration and plates BUT, I run a "Fuller Chevrolet" plate on the front. Some years ago I searched the www for "Bill's Chevrolet" and "Fuller Chevrolet" and so on. Found a "Fuller Chevrolet" in GA and contacted them. They sent me some of their "advertising" stuff. Included in the package was a couple of "Fuller Chevrolet" license plates. Pretty neat......
Bill.

In Ohio Front Plates are required on modern vehicles and antique vehicles with historicle vehicle plates unless you have year of manufacture plates then a front plate is not required. You must first have historicle plates then you can register a year of manufacture plate. You must always have your historicle vehicle plate with the vehicle.

Seat belts were required in 1962 for new cars sold in Wisconsin....and today any car from 1962 and up still requires belts.

To the best of my knowledge in Vermont, if the car had seatbelts new from the factory, you need them now.
