Guest thug23 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I recently bought a 1961 Cadillac and I'm trying to find out the history behind this vehicle...past owners, accidents, etc. I tried to use one of the CarFax Companies but they couldn't check the history with the VIN # because the car was too old. Any suggestion ?? Thank you.
Dosmo Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Well, if you purchased the car from the state you live in, you could give the VIN to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and let them do a search on it, would cost you a small fee. With the info you get from that, you might be able to contact some past owners and get a lead from one of them, and just keep tracing it backwards that way. I purchased a car from Arizona, but found out from the seller that it was an original Iowa car, so I gave the VIN to Iowa DMV, and they gave me a list of people who had registered the car in their names. I did contact one of them, and he filled in a few blanks for me
ted sweet Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 NY state's privacy laws dont allow such a search.
