CA DMV Heritage Plates, DMV cancels program Options

[Cairo94507]

So about a year ago DMV announced the Heritage plate program so people could buy the yellow/black, black/yellow or blue/yellow plates for their vintage cars.

The black/yellow was approved as they received enough orders to hit the 7,500 target. Unfortunately the blue/yellow plates, (correct for our cars) did not garner enough interest so DMV cancelled that plate program.

I just received a notice that DMV applied the $50 credit to my license for my Six. So sad that not enough people were interested in doing this.

I believe a large part of the problem was an almost complete lack of advertising on the part of the DMV. The cost to do the plates was $50 - Most people who have these older cars would likely be happy to pay the $50 to get the period correct plates. Sad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ... have you considered getting your "71 Six" or similar in a personalized plate & then repainting to match your avatar!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
