NY Car Titles

Depends on the year last sold. If it has owners ship transfered with the registration, no title was issued.

John - This is one time that I will have to say that you are incorrect on your answer. I reside in NY, have bought and sold many cars in NY and worked full time at auto sales in NY. "The year last sold" has absolutely nothing to do with the title situation. All pre-1973 cars in NY have a transferable registration and no title. All 1973 and newer cars have a title and a non-transferable registration. This means that any Studebaker, and other cars pre-1973, are legally transferred on their registration. All 1973 and newer cars should only be transfered on a title. The number plates do not go with the car in either case.

Gary you got it right. I live in the cold reaches of the north here in ny. and pre 73 is only on the reggie. Rich

Got me, I just assumed when I got a old Studebaker that was last registered in the 60's that there were no titles issued until a later date.
