1930 or 1931

I am well familiar with the DMV here in Louisiana. I am not planing on spending the rest of my life trying to get then to change the title. It will stay registered as a 1931. What part of LA do you live in.

Way down yonder in New Orleans

In Michigan, they only title 2 doors and 4 doors and I believe station wagon even if they know what other body styles may be called in other states. They go by how many doors are on the car. Therefore, a Tudor, coupe, roadster, cabriolet, etc. are registered as a 2 door. Maybe this same practice is done in your state.

That's very interesting. My car came from Michigan and had Roadster clearly denoted on the Michigan title.

Perhaps the PO had it titled before this practice.

Makes me wonder how they would handle an Isetta or a model T touring with 3 doors.

I agree with Tom-when cars were sold in the next year, they were often titled to that year. Case in point is the Duesenberg-all chassis built in 29-30 but not titled as such.
Bodies were built from 29-36 and that is what your car got titled, when the body was
built.

regarding the MI 2 and 4 door and wagon, etc. FL does the same. Only 2 dr, 4 dr, conv, or truck.
nothing else..............
If one has a roadster title from MI today, it is because the title hasnt been switched out in quite some time.

and then there is ALWAYS the case of human error at your dmv.............
