From what you have written, if your husband has paid off in full his auto loan for the car he has, the lender should be required to provide your husband with registered title to the vehicle under the loan agreement for it.
The lien with respect to the house that you have written about should have no bearing on whether or not title to the car should be given to your husband for it.
