Ron,
This is a Very Slippery slope. Most won't comment on it. I can tell you to look up Ca. Vehicle code 10751.
"They" say if your V.I.N. is in need of replacement, ect , C.H.P. will issue the vehicle a "Blue" tag new V.I.N. .
Otherwise I have Personally seen vehicles including a 1951 truck ordered crushed .
Now if you are getting a plate and filling it out and putting it on your garage wall....That's different!
