I thought that I've seen a late model car with vintage plates - but far from 
"original". 


found this on a corvair site:

Stopped to ask a guy in BLack LM CL550 Benzo that had the Black/GOld plates with 
the 7 letters.

Per  the owner of the car, he says that they are carbon fiber plates that  are 
available from a website Cr8aplate.com. and they cost him $100  each!!!

I did a search for Ct8aplate.com and could not find it, But i did find 
Cr8aPl8.com.....

You have to drill down to find the "State Correct" plates....
They  offer plastic "Show Plates" that dont have the state name at the top,  but 
you can actually have a line of text there along with up to 9 raised  large 
letters in the "normal position"

Now, when you get to the  "State Correct" Plates, according to the site, they 
make heavy gauge  aluminum plates that, according to the site, are legal in some 
states  and approved for use by some DMV's.

Of coures, CA is the red  headed step child, and they have had to stop making 
California plates  for the Yellow/Black 56-62 plates and the Black and Gold 
63-69 plates. I  cant recall if they have had to stop production on the latter 
gen  plates.

They make some great authentic looking plates and  according to the site, they 
are working to get all the "State Correct"  plates approved by DMV's across the 
country.

$29.95 and up to $59.00 for a plate if I recall correctly.

Accroding  to the guy with the Black Benzo.... when I asked him if get hassled  
about the plates, he says "Yes", they tell that they are not legal  (obvious for 
a late Benz) but are actually copies of the regular plates  with numbers/letters 
that were issued by CA Dmv. (He says he has a  friend that is a Chipy that signs 
off on his fix-it tickets)

I'n not interested in putting vintage plates on my LM cars, i more concerned in 
getting them back on my vintage cars.
