The whole title thing varies widely from state to state. Utah luckily is fairly easy. These old cars didn't have vin numbers but Ford did have serial/motor numbers. The very last model t's and all model a's had the serial number on the motor and the frame. The model t body I have has no identifying numbers on it, but the model a frame I used had clear numbers. I had to take the frame to a vehicle inspection place and get the numbers verified. Then fill out some basic paperwork and go to the dmv. They do a vin search and it came back clear so I paid the taxes and got a new title, but it is titled as a 1929 model a. Around here you want to do this at the start of a project because you want the car to be worth less that $1000 because it gets more complicated after that. If there are no numbers you can also get a state issued vin number it's just a little more work.
