I was told by American Car Dolly Co. that a car dolly doesn't need a license plate. The dolly was bought new with only a bill of sale and no title. Is this correct?

depend what state your living in here in wyoming every trailer or dolly has to have a plate on it so you might want to check with your local dmv or dot to be sure

It varies from state to state. In CO, any trailer worth less than (I think, I forget the exact amount) $2,000 does not have a vehicle title when sold, like a car does, or an MSO like a kit car does. But you have take the bill of sale to the DMV and get a plate and a title. That's what I had to do for my little 3 rail MC trailer.

In CO, anything that has has wheels, tires, treads, whatever on a public roadway must have a license plate. And that includes any vehicle being towed on a dolly.

Oddly enough, that also means ATV's and dirt bikes on some forest roads.

Thanks. I guess I'll need to make a trip to Colo. DMV with the bill of sale then.
