Are you saying they are flat when DMV states they are raised letters? What do they look like?

The key words "are similar" to the 60's style, go to the DMV and ask to see their examples of the plates and see for yourself that they look nothing like the originals,.....that's why they have not reached their quota to order them.


I think I'll go make my own.

I know theres a guy at pamona swapmeet that repairs or remakes your old beatup plate but i belive he only does it to your origional plate not ant new plates..
Any help would be appreciated thanks

You can use the old plates in california. Its called YOM Year of manufacture plates.

California is reproducing black plates http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/newsrel/n...12/2012_20.htm check it.

the legacy plates in ca, only the black plates are available. the yellow and blue have not met their pre-order of 7500 units. per ca dmv. web-site.

Plates in Nevada used to be blue w/white letters.

You could buy a yellow tinted cover for them at any car wash in town. Then it looked like the old B&Gold California plate from any distance.

The police pretty much left California driver's alone for the casino business, so if you had the cover over your plate, you didn't worry too much.

what would be the difference between the regular plate and the new yellow/black plate? should be stamped the same with the different color. their just like a personalized plate as you pick your letters and numbers. anything would be better than the plates we have now.

yes you can go the other way also. YFM
