Searching for dads sold 72 colt, New Orleans area

Welcome! Hope you are able to locate your Dad's Colt or find one to duplicate it. Any way of tracking it thru your states DMV?
I should probably start an introduction post also, lol. Dmv is kind of “nervous” about giving the info out. Apparently there is a law that passed a very long time ago to not give out current owners info, and when asking about running my dads records to find his previously owned cars vin numbers, they tend to shy away. Plus they tend to hate their jobs lol. I may try this approach again soon, maybe I’ll get lucky with someone else.
