How do you find an old car you used to own if you do not have any insurance records or VIN number?

Finding an old car

You need at least a license plate # to attempt to locate the vehicle and its current owner but you will also need to know the state in which it is titled.

  • I just went through trying to use an old license plate, and believe me it doesn't work very well. I am working through some of the local insurance companies to see if they have a record of the car I am looking for.
