You can now order the period correct plates for your car through the CA DMV. I just completed the form to order the blue/yellow for my car so I have an official set of plates 71 SIX like my avitar. $50 and once they hit 7500 orders it is a done deal. I would jump on this while they are willing to do it.

7500 in 2 years? I dont think they will have a problem hitting that in 1 month if word gets out

so they dont send them out until they have 7500 orders?

Are these going to be the plastic versions ? I was told the aluminum plates are going to be history soon.

PSS - Thanx toCairo for digging this up & posting it. I'd heard about it, but not that they actually passed the bill & started the program pre-orders.

No - as soon as they hit 7500, then 6-12 months to produce them thereafter - whenever it is that they hit 7500.

So no rush, & it does no good to hid this program because they''l cancel it if they do not get 7500 by 2015.

Plus they start sooner - the sooner they get to 7500!

So spread the word all around!

Go for it folks!!!!


PS - The form gives the choice to pick them up at the AAA office of your choice - avoiding DMV mess, but you can't order them there, by mail seems best.

It also says they're reflectorized in the FAQs - so I'll probably stick with my original blue/gold for my 73 914-2.0 & just clean them up, but since the form includes trailers, we may get a gold/black one for my wife's new toy - a restored vintage 1960 Avion T20 travel trailer (sim. to Airstream), unless we locate a cherry vintage plate from 1960 for the DMV's YOM program instead.

reflectorized? no thanks , I'll keep my white ones. Thought these were actual repops

Hopefully I'll have the car in 3 years when the plates ship......

Dave K,
Want me to rip up your check?

I got my period correct plate at:

They no longer sell CA plates from the website Jim. Too many legal issues apparantly.

I'll be purchasing a set of blue plates for my car, and a 50's set for my brother's truck.. hopefully these get done up soon.

Interesting. I'll bet you they wil be making the new CA offering. Their copies are perfect copies

Haha, no. I'd still like the old, original plates if you can find them. I have a '71 2002 that could use them.

how did it come out?

LicensePlates.TV no longer makes CA plates- believe me I tried hard to get them to just make me a second plate to match the one they did make me. BTW they made excellent replica plates.
