Finster Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi, I am new to this site. I recently bought this wagon and am looking for the history of THIS particular vehicle. I bought it from Maine, he got it from South Carolina, he got it from Utah and there is where it stops. About 4 years ago the car was in Utah. Does anyone know who owned it? thanks for any help. -Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Bob,Hate to be negative, but you're hunting for a needle in a haystack. Finding past owners is normally a fruitless effort - even through local DMV's.Don't get your hopes up.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The place to pose your question is the Forward Look Forums, the site that celebrates Exner-designed MoPaRs from 1955-61. You may not get the answer you seek, but it's your best shot; try it in the Member Rides or General Discussion section. TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elmo39 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 you might have to look a bit further than the US, if it is a custom sierra it would have been built in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Some motor vehicle departments are more open than others. My '53 Jaguar had an Oregon title that listed the car previously titled in Montana. I called the Montana DMV and gave them the VIN. They confirmed that they had information on the car and for $25 they would send a copy of all they had.I got a nice package that took the history of the car back to Sun Valley, California in 1976. I lost the trail there, not able to find Steven Giles.It is a great packet if history.The Utah DMV might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_padavano Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Cool wagon, but try to be realistic. People are spoiled by CarFax and the like, but those databases didn't exist when cars like this were new. Paper files cost money to store and were frequently discarded over time. Few have been entered into electronic databases to facilitate searching. Good luck but don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
