I put two hotrods on the road, one I bought and the other I built. The 32 I built needed a cop to verify a vin tag. That I had made and pop riveted it to the door jam. The 34 I bought, where I live any car 40s or older only need a bill of sale to register and get the tag.

On my Total Performance chassis, you get a certificate of origin. Using your expression, to prove "the pedigree".

In MA, since it's classified as an assembled vehicle you get a state assigned VIN tag that they install.
