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:

Yellow background plates with black letters can be used IF they were for a car from the years they were issued...they assign them like vanity plates unless you can prove they were on the car before.
Black backgrounds with yellow letters are in the process of being approved like the above. CA DMV calls it the YOM program. The TV Reeproduction License plates, are aluminum. Reals ones aren't. Otherwise they are virtually indistinguiseable. You would have to remove them from the car and the frame to tell the difference. |

The YOM program only allows 1969 or older cars/plates to be re-issued (1972 and older for commercial vehicles). You need the appropriate year sticker (1969 or older) on the plate, and you need both front and rear plates. Eric Read |

Which is why Mike says "yellow background with black lettering. from the DMV website: YOM plates are any officially manufactured California license plates issued prior to 1963 that the department determines are legible and serviceable pursuant to California Vehicle Code ยง5004.1. |
