manufactured or the year it is designed to resemble. A vehicle
previously titled as other than a custom vehicle or street rod
may be issued a corrected title reflecting the custom vehicle

    (b-5) The Secretary of State shall designate on a
certificate of title a space where the owner of a vehicle may
designate a beneficiary, to whom ownership of the vehicle shall
pass in the event of the owner's death.
    (c) A certificate of title issued by the Secretary of State
is prima facie evidence of the facts appearing on it.

garnishment, attachment, execution or other judicial process,
but this subsection does not prevent a lawful levy upon the
vehicle.
    (e) Any certificate of title issued by the Secretary of
State is subject to a lien in favor of the State of Illinois
for any fees or taxes required to be paid under this Act and as
