Photshop could tell if the document had been computer altered in any way, by turning the image into a negative and then adding/subtracting shading.

It looks legit' to me. That type of printer paper hasn't been used in more than 20 years.

So Union Park Pontiac retook posession of the car in July 1964. There's no lien listed because, obviously, the dealership did not finance it to retake posession. How they got reposession of it is moot. Am I seeing things or does it look like someone handwrote "DeNick" at the top of that title, just to the left of "P98"? Interesting.

Looks to me like sometime between then and August 1964, Union Park transferred the title to Doug Willey Pontiac in Alabama and they sold the car to Mr. Hage? Hoge? It wouldn't seem unusual, at least not by today's standards, for one car dealer that was having trouble moving a used car off a lot, to transfer it to another dealer in another area where sales of that particular model car might be hotter. Practices were likely no different back then.

Question now is, how/when did ownership get from Mr. Hage/Hoge to Mr. Blair? What year did Bill buy the car again?

And what of Mr. Blair purchasing a NOS aluminum front clip from Fulper? Is that story "Bravo Sierra" or did someone after it was sold from Willey Pontiac smash the front end again? And if so, how is it that THAT particular front end was also aluminum? Why (or better yet, HOW) would Union Park replace the damaged sheetmetal from when DeNick owned it with aluminum when steel was easier to be had?

Still more unanswered questions.
