Tracing California Car History

in the SF bay area it's whole life.

I have a form from the CA DMV which looks like it could
do the trick. DMV form INF 70R. It is a request for VR/
Vessel Record Information. One of the choices is Ownership
History. Has anyone used this form? Had good luck with
it?

I was also trying to find out Chevy dealers in San Francisco
in 1969, but google can't seem to help(or I can't help
google :-)). I figured if I can get a list of dealers, I'd
start calling and see if there might be any records.

Would anyone have an idea on finding dealerships? I'll
start with the one dealer I know (Ellis Brooks) who has
been in business a long time.

Thanks

Hello Ken,
What 1969 Chevrolet model do you have?
There is some help with the NCRS shipping records for Corvettes, Camaros and Chevelles.
Let the reader know more about you car.
