RE: IML: 1960 serial number and first registration date

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your 1963 plate was issued in the Rio Linda area (the "A"s and "B"s were
issued close to Sacramento, right Henry?), so there is a very good chance
the car was taken by the bank in that area - and it's worth a try to contact
the bank to see if they can give you the name of the original owner.  If you
can find a sympathetic ear, they might look up their records for you.

were issued - Henry Hopkins is another of us)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your helpfull answers! I guess it would remain a puzzle then to
find out the exact date ...

I don't have any other paperwork then the title of the car and don't know
the first owner.
The previous owner was a mr. Joe Paul Coffaro, that that ring a bell?
Don't know if he was a member of the list too at the time he ownes the car?

I bought the car last summer at Brasher's Car Auction in CA (in a little
town called Rio Linda), they told me the car was confiscated and sold by
the bank....

Our local DMV always wants to know the exact date, so what I will do is
give them one :) Let us say 4 June 1960 would be a nice one, cause I
bought the car on 4 June last year.

Let them proof then that it isn't the correct date LOL

Thank you all for your advice,

Robert
