I'm not condoning anything illegal and not trying to have the post locked down, but would really like to know why the door post tag is any different than an axle or transmission serial number.
If a vehicle is sold in 1952 with a title that used the engine serial number, then the transmission, rear and door post numbers just became irrelevant...there's no way to ever connect the dots between any of these numbers because NO one, not even GM recorded that info into a data base. GM just left it to the individual States to pick which number they would use for titling. Now, if the original engine is replaced, you've just defaced the only way to identify the vehicle as being yours, as none of the other numbers are on record anywhere.
Am I way off base with this thinking?
