 The 17 digit VIN format is a relatively new thing.  It may simply be VA does not grant new Titles to cars exceding a certain age.  I ran into this problem in AL years ago.  They would register the car no problem, but wouldn't issue me a title.

You may want to say something to the effect:  "It is a classic/antique car" (maybe you'll get one of those cool license plates for free!).

BTW, the full VIN for your JH is 1110-13394.  The 1110 is simply Jensen Motor's manufacture ID#.  There were actually two more prefixes - 1120 and 1130.  The three correspond to different export destinations.
