The solution then was to inspect my engine serial number on my six cylinder engine, for that engine serial number will match the vehicle serial number, I was told. I explained the "hidden serial number" was not utilized in a 1951 Chevrolet.
The Supervisor wants to come out to view "the hidden serial number" on my 1951 Chevy, to validate the serial number tag on my A Pillar. In mid April of 2017, the Supervisor of the inspectors contacted me, now believing my serial number was not correct. We now move from early January of 2017 to April of 2017. they were finished with their investigations with my 1951 Chevy.
The Officer / Inspector then sent me two emails, one in late December of 2016, the second email in early January of 2017, stating they were finished, nothing else was needed. When this 1949 to 1953 manual went to press, GM did not update the illustrations up to the current years of the manual, so the serial number illustration shown was that of an earlier year Chevrolet(s). Three weeks after the above visit, in late December of 2016, I had the Inspector back again, this time the size, color and shape of my serial number tag did not match the illustration # 61, in the "unit serial number section" of the 1949 to 1953 GM Chevrolet Service Manual. The Inspector did NOT know my new NC Title had been issued a month earlier, then stated my new title could be revoked, along with my new NC license plates, due to the above infraction.įolks from AACA and VCCA sent pics of their 1951 riveted serial number tags, just like mine, which I forwarded.Ĭhevrolet began the serial number tag "spot riveting" procedure in 1953. Three weeks later, in early November, I had my NC Title, as I expected.įour weeks after receiving the new title, in early December, the inspector is back at my home, stating my serial number tag should be spot welded to A pillar, and not riveted, as mine is. Inspector stated if all checked out OK with my '51, in Raleigh, my new NC Title would be mailed out within 30 days. The inspector informed me he would send his pics and his info to the Raleigh, NC DMV. I had purchased a '51 restored Chevy from my late friends estate in Albuquerque, New Mexico.īecause this was an out of state car, the police officer / state inspector came to my home, snapped pics of the car and the attached serial number tag. In October of 2016, I surrendered my clear and clean New Mexico title to the local NC DMV, applied for a NC title, and purchased my NC plates. If anyone stops reading midway, I will understand. Here is a LENGTHY recap of what has occurred.
