Your local U.S. Customs office can advise you about what paperwork is
necessary to import the car into the U.S., and the California Department
of Motor Vehicles can tell you what you'll need to register it in
California.
I've never brought a car in from Canada, but imported several T-Type and
Y-Type MGs from the UK a number of years ago. Biggest problem I had was
getting enough paperwork to satisfy the Maryland Motor Vehicle
Administration that I was legal owner of the cars. They never could
understand that the old-style British Ministry of Transport logbook was
the equivalent of our certificate of title, and that the Brits didn't
require a notarized bill of sale to transfer ownership. Caused me all
kinds of headaches...
