Hopefully Yar's experience with AAA will work for you too. I went the DMV/CHP with my 1952 and it was not a pleasant experience. A lot may depend on the individuals you work with. If Oregon used the same registration system as California and many other states, they used the engine number as the ID (now called the VIN). This is where you will encounter a problem. The extremely rude CHP officer I had to work with also told me it had to be a complete (but not necessarily running) vehicle- no missing engine etc.
I had lots of paperwork including pink slip and last registrations, permit to move the unregistered vehicle (24years earlier), and a printout of the door tag info showing it was a 1952 made in Oakland. The officer refused to look at any of it. My problem is the 1952 engine had been replaced with a 1953. It was a frustrating experience requiring three 200 mile round trips.
Hope you have an easier time.
