I read the law Len posted and it says that in July of 2009 Californians may to
use plates appropriate to year of manufacture. I'm not sure of the costs of
it. I personally pushed my state politicians to allow this. I have saved their
letters which were all in favor but the head of the DVM would not budge. He
felt they were unsafe because they did not reflect at night. I gave up only to
find out otherswere also working on this as well. They were successful and I
hope I helped. This has actually caused a rush on flee-market used plates. The
cost went up as people are getting ready. This is way beyound a Healey thing
but had support of all car enthusiast from Hot Rod to classic mussel cars.
