Hello Everybody,

first of all sorry for the poor English!! My last english lesson in school was in 1994.

My Name is Norman and I´m living in Bremen (Beck´s Town) Germany. A few weeks ago i bought a 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne. The car is in pretty good condition. To get a german vehicle registration document i need a lot of facts about the car.
The problem is, that the man who sold the car lost the american title. I need the complete Vehicle data of the car to get the document

The only things i got are the information in the car:

VIN:815 4925 818
Engine: 9312038
Paint: 1014
Trim:844
Style:1549
Body No.:125887

The car has a continental kit, the
registration authority also wants to have the size of this kit.

Can anybody help me to get this information?? Maybe one of you has a tip where i can find the informations???

Thanks for all.

Best regards

Norman

Norman,
The VIN number (vehicle identification number) would have been used on the American title. Back in 1958 it was called the serial number.
The VIN number and the other numbers listed show that this is a Canadian car. Different numbers were used in Canada.

The vin number breaks down as follows

58 is year of car
1 is Chevrolet
1549 is Biscayne 4 door 6 cylinder
5815 would be car serial number.

I would assume the car may have been previously registered in Canada.

The continental kit may be the one sold by Chevrolet or another brand. Would need a picture of it to identify.

Hello,

here is the link with some pictures of the car. Thank you for your help.

That one works!

That is not the kit Chevrolet sold....Send me your Email address and I will send you a picture of the one sold by Chevrolet.

Hello,

i need to get some specification data of the car and i don´t have the original US Title. Is there anybody who can send me a copy of an us title from an 58 Biscayne?? Or is there anybody who has some specification data of the car, which he/she can send me ???

I am really in trouble because i have no data of the car....

Best regards

Norman

Not sure as to what you mean by specification data.
First US did not issue the title. Each of the states issued a title and they were not the same. The title did not contain any specifications. Would have the car serial number, a description of the car (1958 Chevrolet 4 door as an example) and the owners name and address.

Hello Chevgene,

thank you for the information. I do´nt know anything about the information in a U.S. Title. Here in Germany they want me to bring some data about the car like lenght, weight etc.
I hoped that there were informations in the title....

Thank you for your help...

Bye

Norman
