(UPDATE)

California Bill to Create Legacy License Plate Program
Signed Into Law

Governor Jerry Brown signed into law legislation (A.B. 1658) to establish the California Legacy License Plate Program. Under the new law, the DMV will create and issue a series of specialized license plates that replicate plates from the state's past. Previously, classic car owners could only revive well-maintained old plates that match the vintage of their vehicle. Among other things, the new law will bring a retro look to modern license plates by allowing consumers to choose from one of three classic designs from the 1950s-1960s (black lettering on yellow background or yellow lettering on black background) and 1970s-1980s (yellow lettering on blue background). The law requires that at least 7,500 applications for any one particular plate must be received by the DMV on or before January 1, 2015.

Thank you and congratulations to all who participated in supporting the bill.

Now we can register the stockers Bob?? If he can keep his hands off my pension I will be a happy camper. How quickly they forget who put them in office.

All you have to do is to text CLACK PLATES to the California DMV. They will put you on the fast track to issuance.

This does sound like good news! When I lived in California and wanted to put Year-of-Manufacture plates on my 1960, not only did I have to find a set of useable 1956-1962 Black-on-Yellow tags (very popular with the Tri-5 crowd) and a vintage 1960 decal, but I wound-up having to pay a fairly stiff penalty for all the years the tag had been inactive before I could use them! But they looked really great on the truck!
