[Tigers] Tag on Tiger on BAT

[Tom Witt]

I'll second that for California. My brother had a Renault Daulphine that 
was last built in 1965 but sold in 1967 (apparently a tough sell). It 
was registered as a 1967. I had a Volvo PV 544 Sport. It was last built 
in 1965 but sold in 1966. Unfortunately for me that was a time period 
where 1966 and up cars had to be smogged. It must have been the oldest 
looking (looked like a '46 Ford) car ever to do a smog test. Lastly for 
whatever reason when the previous owner of my Tiger brought it from New 
Mexico to California it was registered under its JAL number. And not 
wanting to open a can of worms it remains so.
