Just noticed that my jeep title states SW on it
I assume that indicates station wagon
the ID numbers match the dash plate and the one on the rear fender wall
Just wondering if anyone else has that stated on their title??

Once titled an M37 and the title I got when I bought had the Body Type category blank. Lady at the DMV couldn't have the new title be that way, so we went round and round on what an M37 was, eventually she typed in "Cargo" and she was happy.

A few years ago, I bought a used MV Agusta F4(rare italian motorcycle) DMV, didn't know what to do with that one as it wasn't in their computer, so it's titled as a Make=Custom, Model=Augusta (notice the incorrect spelling from the way Agusta is really spelled). The guy at the DMV had to hand enter both make and model and seemed to get agitated at me when I tried to get him to change it to Make=MV Agusta, Model=F4. So I let it slide. As long as the serial # on the title matched the one on the bike I was happy enough. Have seen tons of weird stuff come out of DMV's over the years.
