If legal title of the vehicles that you are writing about is not in your name but in your spouse's, then under the law he is recognized as the legal owner of such subject to a determination by the court in the event of a marital dissolution that you have a marital ownership in them.
Your position should be that the vehicles were paid for with marital funds and as such you have an ownership interest in them.
