I understand selling titles or historical docs are tabu. . but I'm hearing these old cars mostly didn't have titles, is this true? thanks for any info. I'm hearing what I'm looking for is a vin tag so it can be traced back to a T registry? Is this also true?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
 
This is what I've been enlightened with on another website, wanted to share the response I got. .

Of course old cars had titles! Model T Fords were titled by the engine number and then in late 1926 they stamped that same number on the frame as well. Model A's used the engine nmber too along with the same number stamped on the frame.
Dodge Brothers stamped the SERIAL number on the frame from the very beginning starting in November 1914 and the engine number was approx 50,000 higher than frame serial number.

VIN's did not come into being until much later and are a 17 digit numer if I remember correctly. Early cars only have a serial number and vary in length.
