[FC] Were did my Greenbrier come from.

As far as I know there is no registry for Greenbrier owners, it would be a
monumental task to start one, and very difficult to track previous owners as
you may have already found out.
Most Departments of motor vehicles, have no way of accessing records
pre-computer, so tracing the ownership of a vehicle would be time consuming
if not impossible.
Most people looked on these vehicles as disposable, so even owners did not
dsave records of registrations............
Sorry
