NY state never issued titles for any car prior to 70. They have what they call a transferable registration. The seller signs the back and gives it to the new owner and that is all there is to it.

I am going to show this to my Pontiac friend later today when he gets back as he is in GA picking up a 63 Catalina two door post he just bought off Ebay. This is something he would be interested in I beleive...
