Thank you, Sue! It's sad to hear your mom never forgave you for getting her license taken away. But I applaud you for being so positive about it!
I will ask attorney about the insurance. It never occurred to me that it may not cover him. Thank you for that information!
As for buying a new car, yes I was thinking you need a license, but as I do more research, I found out that you can buy a car without license if you buy it with cash. You just need some kind of ID like passport, at least in my parents' state.

I actually bought a car without a license. (Long story from about 40 years ago.)
I financed it through the dealer, too. Apparently they didn't care whether I ever drove it, just so long as I paid for it.

We still had a loving relationship - she only got mad when she remembered about it.
Good luck with Dad - one thing you might suggest is that Mom find a neighbor willing to be his paid chauffeur when he "wants to go" - maybe someone living on just their Social Security who might appreciate a little cash. Then he is "helping someone out" as well as giving Mom a break.
