Interesting car with potential but the title is likely to be a problem. I just tried to transfer the registration on a sportwagon I'm going to be working on but they (here in PA) wouldn't transfer the title unless they could see the VIN tag in person or get a pencil rubbing of it. (That's a new one for me.)

Since the SW vin is on the door panel (the under hood tag has only a partial number) and can't be made into a rubbing, I took some pictures of it with a daily newspaper to show it was current. I haven't gotten back to the auto tag place but I called them and they said it might well work for them. Will find out this week.

And yes, 1.5 Kadetts were sold in the states, I have no idea how many. Somebody else probably knows.
