In Oregon vehicles were titled by engine number until 1955, then the vehicle was assigned a VIN. to frame and body. The change was made due to motors being changed as they wore out. All vehicles made prior to 1955 are very easy to obtain a title for. Simply produce a Bill Of Sale or a title to vehicle with a vin inspection done by Oregon State Police or any law enforcement officer or a DMV investigator and a 550 form (obtained at DMV).All these to DMV and a VIN will be assigned to vehicle.
