License Plates, Need a period-correct plate ? Options

[jim_hoyland]

I needed a replacement front license plate and wanted one with the correct 1975 color scheme. These guys make plates for nearly any state and period. The size and coloration were exactly the same as my original back plate:

That's odd since CA allows use of old plates. Or at least did when I was there. The old black-on-yellow or later yellow-on-black plates were sought by old cars owners.

Here in NC you can display a plate from you car's year if it is at least 25, maybe 35 years, old and you have a legal, up-to-date plate in the car.

Edit: Guess I shoulda hit the site first. Did not realize they are duplicates, not original.

BTW - I'm looking for 1970 NC plates in very good to excellent condition.

You are quite correct sir... but California doesn't allow reproduction plates.

Of course, that the repros are virtually indistinguishable from the originals - I wouldn't know anything about that. Or about ordering sets as "surprise" "novelty gifts" for California friends. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
