History Help wanted info for 39 LaSalle from Mexico

Happy owner of a 1939 LaSalle Coupe which was imported from Mexico.
Car has 2 stickers from a cl***ic club called CVV and another one from “direccion de registro federal de automoviles” which Googles translates to “direction of federal registration of cars” and # 4592390.

Is it possible to look up this vehicle to learn about it’s history and when it was exported etc?
Anybody has any ideas?
Thanks
Mo

 

Pretty stingy with pictures of the car, lets see more of this thing, Please. ~sololobo~

 

I ***ume you've figured out the CVV acronym from the wording on the border of the decal.

You could give us some better pictures of the car - ¾ shot from opposite corners, any ID tags on door frame, firewall, frame rails. Trying to determine your car's provenance from two stickers is not reasonable.

Try to contact (and/or join) a large Cad/LaSalle collectors/restorers club. They will be able to tell you more than anyone else. Heck, some of those guys can figure out who put in the windshields and at what time of day

Beautiful car - best of luck to you

Thanks will try

 

If I could see the entire registry decal I may be able to tell you where it was actually registered. You may have trouble finding out much from the govt. They were still keeping everything in cardboard boxes even up into the the mid '90s that I know of.

Looks like a nice car. Pretty good score even if you don't know the history of it.

 

Does this help?

 

Okay, What I know is that the club is a really large. CVV A.C. is the Veteran VEHICLE Club Civil ***ociation. its registered under the Mexican Federation of Antique And Collector Automobiles A.C. or "Federacion Mexicana de Automoviles antiguos o de collecion" it has a large number of members. Oscar Fernandez, Alberto Lenz, together with Efren Perez Siete where the last presidents of the CVV that I know of. as for the Direccion de registro federal de automoviles is more like the Department of Federal registry of automobiles. wich was placed on imported automobiles to prevent theft, and prevent the m*** importation of cheaper Used and new imports. Also its who you paid your "taxes" to. "The Department of Estate and Public Credit". thats what "Secretaria de hacienda y credito publico" means. on the Mexican do***ents it should say import date. Ill ask some buds if you can read more into the number. which would act like a federal VIN Number that had better match the real VIN umber. I have these decals on two of my rides one was imported in 65 brand new the other was imported much later and that's on a piece of cl*** from the original window. the 65 belonged to the Governor of the state where I live...I say that to say this. These cars where expensive to import mine the final cost was five times the price of the most expensive car sold in Mexico at the time. if you figure out who it belonged to you might just be surprised. a bit of a hint if you're going to look up mexican info try "google Mexico". Hope this helps. as

 

my question is.............

when you brought this car through customs at our border how close did the officers look it over, especially to make sure it was not on a stolen list?

mexico is known for getting cars there from usa and people there regester them to a mexican ***le and if it was stolen here good luck getting it back unless the owner or the owner pays someone to steal it back.

it is a cool catch i envy you . good luck with the project.

 

Wow, you would have to be pretty well connected to get a crooked deal like that. Even here in Mexico. Whenever I take my rides across the border they, take a quick pic of the front and back(it runs the plates through the computer). BP never check the Vin number, sometimes they just enjoy looking at the pretty vehicle. I usually just go stateside to change out wheels or get modifications. They're fine with that. As long as you tell them you're spending money, I guess. You can import to the U.S. and at that moment they check if its stolen. Mexican authorities also check when they import vehicles into Mexico. they'll confi****e the vehicle if they find it or any of its parts is stolen(I hope they give it back). Heading away from the borderland cl***ics sometimes get stopped just to make sure they're legit. Federales De Caminos(Feds/Highway patrolmen) are known for collecting cl***ics, and they love to stop and check everything out. I suppose you could bribe your way though life. but at that point, you're just not enjoying the ride anymore. I could tell you a story bout a 57 chevy Bel Air, that belonged to a Federal and his joy riding construction workers. but that's another thread.
